Step 4: Remote Control

"The world is wider than you think, the sea is deeper than you know" Mr. Pisit Mitkuakul

Let's get to the point. Today, we will make the remote control. We were already finish with the plane, so we gonna put the motor to the plane. We will use the already-made remote control. I don't know about other places, but here in Thailand its price is about 900 baht($27). Actually, we can make it by ourselves for about 500 baht($15), but it takes time and skill.


Prepare the remote control ... you can buy it from anywhere.


Equipment are remote, controlling circuit, 2 motors, battery, 2 fans, and mast.


Connect the circuit to the 2 motors.


By connect the red wire to the side that have a red dot and the other to the other side.


Put the fans on the motors


It should look like this.


Measure the wings each side from the center about 11-13 cm to place the motors.


Glue it.


Put the motor at the place we glue and wait for it to dry.
(Make sure that they aren't crooked.)


Place to tape on it to make sure that it is strong enough.


It should look like this.


Repeat it to the other side.


Keep the wire needly.


Put the wings with the motor to its body.


Finish for today!!!

However, the plane is not going to take off yet. Next time we will need to find its center because without it, your plane will bent over left and right.


See you next time

Step 3: Wings

“The boat will never get going, if its people don’t head for the same destination” Mr. Pisit Mitkuakul

Now, let’s get to the point. Today we are going to make the wings.
The wings are made from foam 15.5cm x 43cm x ¾ inches (or 2cm).


This is the foam we use to make the wings.


Draw it on.


2 pieces


Cut the foam by using the foam cutter that we made


Cut it into 2 pieces


Next, we need to make them curved.


Now bring the pattern for the wings.


Put the foam on the pattern.


Use the foam cutter to cut by the pattern.


Take the left over off.


Repeat it again with another piece.

Then, bring the wings to the pattern for the degree of the wings. Cut the end of the wings so that they can connect to each other.

Now, we will put them together in V shape.


Glue them.


Wait for the glue to dry.


Make sure by use the tape to round over the joint.


So, we will get like this.

Use tape and sticker to decorate the wings.


Lastly, put it together with the body by using 2 plastic bands (x shape).

YEAH, we now finish with the airplane. Next time, we will go for remote control. And then we will be ready to fly.

Step 2: Tail Section

"Don’t expect only for success, but also value in doing it" (Mr. Pisit Mitkuakul)

Let’s get to the point. Today we are going to make the tail of the airplane craft. The tail section consists of horizontal part (STAB)* and vertical part (FIN) made out of 5-mm thick foam. (picture below) You can also make it curved for better look.




Put the pattern on the foam and draw the line for cutting.


Use cutter.


So we will get these two pieces.


Then, glue the tail section of the body of a plane.

Put the horizontal piece on the tail section and wait for the glue to dry.


After that, glue the symmetry line of the STAB.

Put the vertical piece on the line that is glued and then wait for the glue to dry.


Make sure that the fin is perpendicular the body because it affects the flying of the plane.


Next, we will make the part to put together the wing and the body. Dig the stick in to the side of the body about 1- 1.5 inches from the top. And dig another stick in at 1 inch after the whole to put the wing about and 1-1.5 inches from the top.

This is where to dig in the stick.


And this is how it should look like.

This is all for the tail section. Next, you can decorate it by sticker or tape or whatever you like.

Next time, we will do the wing!!!
