RC Airplane Safety

Colored Propeller

In my previous project we made some small toy flying machines. Now is time to move little bit advance topics. I guess everyone here like to fly their own toy airplane with the remote so that we can control it as we like. There are few methods that we can used to build such toys and control them. Here I like to introduce some RC-Radio Controlled Airplanes as beginning. When it comes to RC Airplanes they are using little advance techniques, so that would like to emphasis more on the safety of you while you are making and test your toy plane. First thing that we need to take into consideration is Propeller Safety. Propeller of your airplane might harm you if you touch or accidentally touch it while it is moving. So that there are small safety rules that you can follow to prevent them and reduce accident while making these machine. How to color your propeller, ground safety ...etc discussed here. Please careful on these safety hints.

How To Make A Balloon Plane

Friends! How is the thing happening? Did you try the toy planes we make here? Today I am going to show another simple toy plane design that you can make very easily but have a great fun. Today we make Balloon Plane. You may wonder what this balloon plane is. This is again a simple plane uses the rubber balloon to generate throttle power. You know that once you fill the rubber balloon with air, inside the balloon air in under pressure. Once you release this air you can generate pressurized air flow from balloon’s mouth. This air flow can be used to push your plane forward very easily. Now you can imagine what I am going to make here. Even though this is a simple plane design if you control the air flow correctly you will be able to fly your plane considerable long air time. It all depends on the balloon size, straw size and length. You need to fine tune these parameters to get optimum flying time. That means if balloon is large we can expect long flying time. If straw size is small

Rubber Band Powered Rocket

Today I am going to introduce another simple but, very interesting toy. You might remember that we make a Paper Airplane few months ago. Today I am going to fly that paper airplane using a rubber band. If you did not make my previous paper airplane you can try it from here . You have to have that paper airplane to make this rubber band powered rocket. Fig 1: How to make a paper airplane As you can see in above picture, you need to make your paper airplane. Details instruction given in previous post . Then you need to have a little long rubber band.

Rubber Band Powered Toy Plane

As a simple start let’s make a rubber band powered toy plane as our first project. This is a very simple design which will guide you basic concept of flying machines or airplane. Before move into implementation of toy plane let’s try to understand the concept behind the flying. People have used different mechanism to fly and those are having their own advantages and disadvantages. This article explains in details different mechanism used and how they look likes. As you might already know, flying mean float on the air while moving forward or backward. Basically flying machines not take backward movement whereas by turning it can change the direction easily. To float on the air it should have some force against the gravitational forces or simply weight of the airplane. How we generate this lifting force, if you can find a mechanism to generate this force you can float on the air. Concept of Flying Figure 1.1: Air flow pattern of airplane wing
