Four Types of Model Aircrafts You Can Build
Do you enjoy the beautiful model aircrafts that are sold in the toy shops and on so many sites online? Of course you can just go to a shop or click on a site and buy the ones you like most. But besides the fact that buying ready models costs you money it’s just not as cool as building models yourself.
What kind of models could you build yourself? Almost all. Here are some ideas:
Paper airplanes. Who has not build one as a kid? Building paper airplane can be as simple as getting a sheet of paper and making few folds. But there are also flying paper aircrafts with an engine and remote control or others which are exact scale models of existing real aircrafts. Some enthusiasts build even paper helicopter which can fly.
The main disadvantage of the paper aircrafts is that they easily get damaged – especially the really flying ones.
Free flight aircrafts. There is a category of model airplanes called “free flight” which means they fly without any attachment to the ground or even to your hand. Most free flight models are simple – just like the simple paper airplanes that we build as kids (they are in fact free flight airplane models too). Free flight helicopters are much harder to build than the airplanes for obvious reasons, but there are people who build them – with self rotating propellers or “charged” by a rubber band mechanism.
The free flight airplanes are great enjoyment and fun. They are easy to get lost which is their main disadvantage.
RC Aircrafts. Remote control aircrafts are very cool toys but they really require technical knowledge about electronics and similar stuff. You will not save money by building such models yourself – the ready RC airplanes and helicopters are pretty cheap compared to the efforts to build yourself. But if you can build an RC aircraft by your own hands you will really have something to be proud of.
You may build RC aircraft much easier if you buy a kit or at least a package of remote control and engine.
Static Scale Models. Sounds simple? Actually this is the heavy artillery of the airplane modeling. Making scale models is hard exactly because you have to keep the scale of the real model. This require high preciseness and skills to work on very small parts.
The static model aircrafts can be made of wood, mahogany, plastic or even clay. If you are scarified to do everything from scratch you can buy almost ready static models which require only painting. This is a good way to start.
Most fans of the Model Aviation sooner or later want to build their own models in addition to the ones they buy and collect. You may decide to start by building yourself – there is nothing scary and it’s a lot of fun.

Rcadvisor’s Model Airplane Design Made Easy $20.89 Build and fly your very own model airplane design. Using clear explanations, you will learn about important design trade-offs and how to choose among them. The latest research and techniques are discussed using easy to understand language. You will discover: The special challenges faced by the smaller models and how to overcome them. How to choose the right material for each part of the airplane. Easy rules for selecting the right power system, gas or electric. When it makes sense to use one of the innovative KFm airfoils. Pros and cons of canard and multi-wing configurations. A step-by-step design process that includes goal setting and flight testing. In-depth discussions of important topics like airfoils and wing design. The sources of air drag and how to minimize their impact. ADVANCE PRAISE "This book is a joy to read The writing style and wit add dimension in a way that is rarely found in today’s reference materials. If someone has considered designing their own airplane and been put off because of complicated formulas, vocabulary and reference style that would bore even an engineer, this will convince them to go ahead and try it. Written with real people in mind and not engineers – and I mean that in a good way. This is a book that will reside along the other favorites on my bookshelf. Carlos really managed to produce a book that will last a long time and become one of the standards for modelers." – Greg Gimlick, Electrics columnist, Model Aviation magazine "RCAdvisor’s Model Airplane Design Made Easy is the ultimate model airplane design book for both beginning and experienced modelers." – Richard Kline, Inventor, KFm airfoils "RCadvisor’s Model Airplane Design Made Easy is a real contribution to the world’s literature on the subject. It provides an excellent bridge between full scale aviation and aeromodeling, showing the relationship between the two, for better understanding of the differences and similarities which should be applied for good model performance. While thorough in detail, the book is also easily readable so that the information is simple to understand. It is a very good combination of theory and practical application. Nicely illustrated, the book is also full of common sense explanations and references to other sources of information." – John Worth, former President and Executive Director of the AMA "Carlos Reyes personably leads the reader through some basic aerodynamics, materials considerations, electric power system planning and a practical application of theory as it is applied to a finished flying model. The background history of various types of aircraft shows the development of aviation and how it relates to the models that we build and fly today, as well as how models have influenced general aviation. It is always exciting to find some ‘new to me’ concepts and theories, and there were several in this well-writ |

Built by the Glenn L. Martin Company the Martin 130 flying boat was the first true intercontinental airliner. It resulted from a request made in 1931 by Pan American Airways for seagoing airliners to fly the Atlantic. Only three flying boats were built: the China Clipper the Philippine Clipper and the Hawaii Clipper all of which were named after Pan Am s principal Pacific destinations. Both the first mail and first passenger runs were made by the China Clipper thus its name became generic and was used by the public to refer to all three aircraft in the fleet. The China Clipper was of all metal construction with a twostep hull the upper portions of which were covered in corrugated duralumin sheet. Sponsons were fitted to the hull sides at cabin floor level. These aerofoilshaped surfaces not only helped s |
