hey folks....... i am a school student...
i am going to make my fist electric plane....
i have collected necessary resources...... actually i am an electronic hobbycist
but i am interested in rc field so i am making my fist plane.....
plzz give me some tips....
Build a coro trainer for your first plane.
I am an electronics hobbyist now into RC hobby..
what is the budget? Are you interested in building/experimenting or in flying? If you spend a little more, find an inexpensive ARF (has all the foam precut, molded, gear wire, wheels, sometimes comes with a brushed motor, etc..)
something like this with a factory installed motor?

i want to build and experiment..... so everything.... is gonna be self build ....
i have some questions .....
1. for a 60cm fuselage what should be the wing lenght??? what should be rudder and elevator size...?
2. where should the landing gear be place... in respect to the cg....? in a taildragger type plane....
i have all the electronics lying around.. bldc's esc's etc....
what would be the cost to build this plane then.....?
thnxx for d reply :hatsoff:
can u tell me wats weight to thrust ratio.....?
n i brought biofoam from a nearby shop....
can u tell me which adhesive can be used to stick d pieces together.......?
1:1 is good for beginners. Hot glue gun is good, but don't apply too much as its heavy.
you can also use foam safe CA, but it is expensive
again thnxx for d reply...... :)
what do u mean by 1:1 .....?
i started makin my fuselage.....
how sud i make d airfoil any methods......?
:help:
1:1 means , that the thurst of the motor and the weight of your plane should be same
like if the thrust is 400 , the wt of plane also 400 400:400= 1:1 ratio.
hope its cleared ?
yes it is cleared..... thnxx :)
what should be d length of my fuselage as a beginner ....?
n what about the airfoil how sud i make it....?
as i start with this ill start postin pics......
Clark y airfoil......? whats this... ???
sry my questions may seem silly m a beginner so please dont mind.....
my wing length is goin to be 50 cms ..... so what should be my fuselage length....?
I would recommend you to build any kind of trainer models first of about 50" span... will be easy to learn and make...
Search on electric planes section and scratch build section to find lot of build threads ...
