Looking for: Easy to build basic RC airplane plans

Post  mr_cox on Fri Jan 27, 2012 10:31 am

Hello all!

I want to build this weekend a small plane to fly with a cox RC babe bee. I have to conves that i never build a wooden plane before and never used a Cox to power a plane. Embarassed

Now i am looking for a super simple plan to build my first RC plane. I prefer one that is not so quick and will glide to the air when the babe bee runs out of fuel. Also it would be nice if the wing could be build from a solid piece of balsa (or some more pieces)

Anyone an idea?

Thank you!

Bastiaan

Does it have to be wood Bas?. You can crank out a disposable foamie pretty quick,,just by the materials used.

The lazy bee is great.
BUt maybe a Vic Smeed tomboy there straight forward and will be good with a babe bee.

The Honker is about as simple as they come.

If the wing confuses you it is possible to use an ACE foam wing and build from that.

Here's an example of the wing construction. It uses a tapered sheet from SIG to build the Jedelsky airfoil, but you might be able to use a standard sheet of balse instead with the understanding that you'll be adding a bit of weight and the airfoil will not be as efficient.

I did not yet manage to aquire parts to build an airplane, but I did manage to order 2 bottle's of model technics GN-25. And that at my local hobby shop! Last time i had to travel 150km to get a bottle.

Could someone explane how to build an wing with only a couple of sheets of balsa? And how do you get the V- shape in it?

Well you need to be good at sanding as you sand the aerofoil into it.
that "V" shape is called dihedral you make the wing in 2 parts and glue them together at the recommended angle to get the dihedral.

WoW John Badman doing a Stik!
Go with full 4 channel and no dihedral and the aerobatic capabilities will surprise you!
Well maybe not you as you have that huge Capiche but the surprised me before I got into 3d.

Here's another that's an easy build-up: Das Not Ugly (DNU). It's been built by quite a number of folks on the other forums. I've attached the JPG file, but have a tiled PDF if anyone is interested.

I second the DNU (Das Not Ugly). I am finishing one up now. I was going to do a build thread but it was such a fast and easy build that I was just about done with the frame up before I realized I had not taken any pics. It is a nice kit and you can get it from selecthobbies.com.

The Honker Rocket is essentially a Honker (same wing and stab), but with a rakish rudder and sleeker fuselage. They were used for a time in 1/2A class racing during the mid-eighties.
