How to make a foam rc plane

I am Alexander Park and I am here to show you how to make a simple foam rc plane.

Print the design of the pieces from http://www.foamyfactory.com/

Cut the pieces out using the jigsaw. You can use an Exacto knife but the jigsaw is faster and easier to use.

Using the jig saw cut both ailerons at a 30-45 degree angle where the control surface meets the wing. To make the hinge, mate the control surface to the main wing body at the cut angle, apply tape.

Cut stationary piece 1 at 30-45 angle, Slide and glue piece 1 into place. Slide part #2 into place and tape the elevator hinge just as described in step 3.

Simulate the locations of the control horns then make an outline of the servo on the airframe. Cut out the servo locations. Use a hot glue gun to fix the servos and control horns to the airframe.

Use a table saw to cut out a slot in a block of wood to mount your motor on. Pre-drill the mounting holes in the block.

Mount Motor.

You now need to mount the ESC, Radio, and Battery. I just use tape to mount the electronics. Make sure the plane balances about 1/3 to 1/2 the wing cord length back from the leading edge of the wing
