Wanna Build a Bad A$$ Rc Plane Cheap?










It's easy cheap and satisFRYING
Supply or Die

go to lowes or home depot on Saturday or Sunday this is the best time to catch beautiful ladies shopping while you get your supplies. If you happen to hook up blow off the rc plane for now. I'll understand. ..;)
You May Wanna Write a List

if your phone dies at the store you will think me
Comb You Hair Over We Are Going Shopping



Once you are there and struck out in the lady dept go grab yourself a 4x8 sheet of blue foam. it comes in 2 thickness as a rule either will work. look for pieces that are broken on the corner or crushed o little on the side. hit up the Dept. Mgr and ask for the foam at half price. You may want to get the foam last or you will look like a idiot walking they the store with a big piece of foam. Also grab some titebond quick set glue. don't be a tie wad. get a big bottle cheapskate it's just glue. Now I'm guessing you have a palm sander at the house if not stick to buying over priced ARF planes. get some 80,120,220 and some 300 to 600 pads. Now grab a roll or two of clear packing tape. get the good stuff. let's see....what else... razor blades are always good too. and while your there could you grab me a filter for my shop vac? it's the least you could do for all this info and typing I'm doing.
PUT SOME MEAT IN THE BEAN


Go home and close out the porn sites on your lap top. it's time to get some info. there are a lot of things you can build. But by far imo the wing is the sexiest, cheapest, coolest, easiest to fly plane to start on. Do this in Google Chrome browser it what works. Quit questioning me ! search for rc wing calculator ver 2. v1 is ok and so is v3 but trust me on this. Depending on weather or not you are in Canada or the US use millimeters or inches. you can play with this to get the look you want. Now is a good time to look at the expensive store bought trash that came as a ARF almost ready to fly. You want to consider the wieght of the donor plane so you can build your wing about the same. or go to hobby king and buy what you need. but if you are reading this. you are a victim of a overpriced plane you wrecked 1st time out. mine won't break so easy.
Ok Ok I'll Tell You Some Good Ones




2 Anna go big ??? 64 inch wing span 12 inch root 6 inch tip sweep is 14 inch. this is good for a 4 cell setup and a strong motor that will pull 3 lbs. anything with a 12 root and 6 tip and 14 sweep is good for pusher add a fuselage if you choose for fpv. for a tractor (prop in front) 36 ws 22 root 8 tip and 3 inch fuse is good. confused? read and learn it's all out there if you don't know this much this is to advanced for you. You need to study a bit to enjoy planes like this.....
If Your Keeping Track It's the 6th Step and Your Anal Retentive.


now you think you know your design right? well cut out the entire wing from the foam. now cut two sections to match leaving a gap where you want your batteries to go. as illustrated cut 1st piece and then 2 and 3. brush a thick layer of tie bond on the 1st piece but not in the middle where the gap goes. that would be stupid. now wouldn't it? ...Place the 2 parts on top of the 1st and shit your heavy girlfriend on top and tell her not to move. and you will buy her a bow of twinkies. let sit for 2 days to dry fully. no air gets in there if you can see in the sun it will speed it up. note.
Take time to cut this with new sharp razors it matters.

I've built em all and flown em all and trust me this is the best way to get into building. dollar tree foam board is ok but at the end of the day it's still foam board. you now can build a real damn plane. and noone else will have anything like it. I will answer any questions I can. as long as there not stupid.
