Hiya!
Those who know me know that I'm up to allsorts. I'm always doing/learning something different.
Anyway, I want to build a fliable model aircraft. Just something basic for now so I can learn.
Are there any set ratios which I should know about? Wing span lengths, widths, etc?
I made my first model from scratch but it doesn't fly. It's too heavy! I made it from 5mm polycarb sheet. It has a 60cm wing span and about that length fusilage. It has a 3.7v motor with propeller on each wing.
Are there any enthusiasts on here? |

Start small and simple. Balsa wood kits are best.
Just make a glider to start so you've got the mechanics and skills. Maybe move on to cbw - control by wire - before going RC  |

Have a look at Steve Webb model shop. I think it's in your part of the world. I haven't built anything since Pontious was a pilot. To start with I think you might be better of with a model that is ready to fly or ARTF (almost ready to fly). Many come complete with radio control, Lipo batteries and charger. I would ask in the shop above. Good luck. |
