How to Make a Model Aeroplane

by Liam Verity and Craig Constable
 

This is a picture of the flying model you will be making.
   
These are the items that you will need to build your model aeroplane.

   

First you need to cut out parts 1 and 2 from the foam, it is recommended that you should only cut out the pieces when you need them.
   
Now apply glue to part 1. Quick hint, use a glue stick for best results, just a smear will hold the parts together without weighing too much.

   

Next, you need to stick parts 1 and 2 together as shown in the picture (left).
   
Now, fold the wings gently where shown to turn up the wing tips. The angle of the fold should be about 30 degrees(see below)

   

Add a strip of tape across the top and bottom of your wing to resist them from bending in the air. (see above)
   
Now prepare the motorstick as shown on the right picture. Mark with a soft pencil. Wrap sellotape around the body stick before pushing the pin through the 250 mark, as shown.

   

Then add the wing support, glue one wing support to touch the pencil mark at 60 milimetres and do the same on the other side.
   
Then cut out part five and fold it long ways, after, put it in between the wing supports and let the glue dry.

   

Cut out the parts the you have left and assemble them as in this picture (see left).
 

Then check the plane for warps.
