Overview
Built a functional RC trainer airplane from scratch using foam board construction. The design is based on the FT Simple Storch, a beginner-friendly aircraft known for its stability and ease of construction.
The project involved cutting and assembling foam board components, integrating electronics (motor, ESC, servos, and receiver), and fabricating the landing gear and control surfaces.
Specifications:
- Wingspan: 1400mm
- Material: 5mm foam board
- Electronics: Brushless motor, 6-channel receiver, multiple servos for control surfaces
This project demonstrated hands-on fabrication skills and practical understanding of RC aircraft systems and aerodynamics.
