Hi all,
I am new to this forum and interested in RC stuff..
I have RC Buggy, RC Bike and a 3ch Heli (all china made  Wink )...
Now I am planning to build my own RC Plane.. Coz building is more fun then buying one..
I have got some info about RC Planes from the below link
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=681556&page=8

After reading through RC - India Gems and many different threads in this forum, I finally registered here to post my question...
I want to build my own plane using CORO or Thermocol.
I read many threads and most of the users recommended SPAD Planes for beginners.
I also checked out Blu-Baby http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=681556&page=8
but more interested in building a SPAD.

1. I need ur guys help to select a simple SPAD Plane from the below link, so I can download the plan
http://www.spadtothebone.com/freeplans.htm

Also The plan which I will download from the site are those printable for e.g. I print them and stick the printouts on thermocol /coro and then start cutting..?

2 . Please suggest me what all electronics will be needed for this.
I mean what type of motor, servo, etc,..

Thanx in advance to evry1

Practice, and only Practice will make you perfect



aafi, welcome. you have to look at your flying skill first, a lot of people build aeroplane and in the first flight total it. spads are not very easy machine to  fly, at low speeds they tip stall unexpectedly. making yourself a aeroplane with depron is not a bad idea, longevity of such model is the question, 9 gms servos and some motors which akky is selling is good enough, which is the radio you have ? does it have DR and Expo ? how much of sim time you have logged. (Sorry if i am sounding like Dr Grace Augustine). my point is take one thing at a time.

(a) flying skill ? → sim time → Electric/High wing trainer

(b) Build → depron → Coro

c) Buy → trainer → Pattern → 3D

Take it from there

I hope it helped Thumbs Up

building / flying....

both are different skills/thrills.

accrd to me sims, good only for practicing.. may not teach u everything. would'nd recomend'em for a start.

First learn how to fly,  then build.(coz u'll know exactly what goes into building a plane)
