The latest research and techniques are discussed using easy to understand language. You will discover: The special challenges faced by the smaller models and how to overcome them. How to choose the right material for each part of the airplane. Easy rules for selecting the right power system, gas or electric. When it makes sense to use one of the innovative KFm airfoils. Pros and cons of canard and multi-wing configurations. A step-by-step design process that includes goal setting and flight testing. In-depth discussions of important topics like airfoils and wing design. The sources of air drag and how to minimize their impact. ADVANCE PRAISE "This book is a joy to read! The writing style and wit add dimension in a way that is rarely found in today's reference materials. If someone has considered designing their own airplane and been put off because of complicated formulas, vocabulary and reference style that would bore even an engineer, this will convince them to go ahead and try it. Written with real people in mind and not engineers - and I mean that in a good way. This is a book that will reside along the other favorites on my bookshelf. Carlos really managed to produce a book that will last a long time and become one of the standards for modelers." - Greg Gimlick, Electrics columnist, Model Aviation magazine "RCAdvisor's Model Airplane Design Made Easy is the ultimate model airplane design book for both beginning and experienced modelers." - Richard Kline, Inventor, KFm airfoils "RCadvisor's Model Airplane Design Made Easy is a real contribution to the world's literature on the subject. It provides an excellent bridge between full scale aviation and aeromodeling, showing the relationship between the two, for better understanding of the differences and similarities which should be applied for good model performance. While thorough in detail, the book is also easily readable so that the information is simple to understand. It is a very good combination of theory and practical application. Nicely illustrated, the book is also full of common sense explanations and references to other sources of information." - John Worth, former President and Executive Director of the AMA "Carlos Reyes personably leads the reader through some basic aerodynamics, materials considerations, electric power system planning and a practical application of theory as it is applied to a finished flying model. The background history of various types of aircraft shows the development of aviation and how it relates to the models that we build and fly today, as well as how models have influenced general aviation. It is always exciting to find some 'new to me' concepts and theories, and there were several in this well-written narrative." - Ken Myers, Editor, Ampeer electric flight newsletter "No matter how long you've been aeromodelling, or what your interests are in our great hobby, the greatest thrill of all is standing behind a unique model that you've designed and built yourself, from a blank sheet of paper - or even a blank CAD file - and preparing to make that first take off. So sit yourself down in a comfy chair, read RCadvisor's Model Airplane Design Made Easy and set off on aeromodelling's greatest adventure. Let Carlos Reyes - an aeromodeller of long standing and great talent - take you through the mysteries of how to arrive at the point that every lover of model aircraft should experience." - Dereck Woodward, aeromodeller, designer and magazine writer for the past fifty years
This manual quickly takes the newcomer to radio control foam building techniques up to expert level. This completely revised edition describes the choice of foam, materials for strengthening and covering, tools and glues to create not only wings but also fuselages, cowlings, moulding and much more.
Easy-to-follow, step-by-step methods to lay out, analyse, and optimise your new homebuilt aircraft concept; Industry methods distilled to the essence, and written in a straight forward, easy-to-read style; No derivations, proofs, or complicated equations. Every step is illustrated with an all-new design example that is followed through from beginning to end.
It is fascinating when it smells of wood and glue and a new flying model gradually emerges on the building board. In the process, you learn a lot about wood as a building material, about building techniques and, incidentally, about construction methods. So that the whole thing doesn't get bogged down in theory, the material and construction techniques are used in this book on a real flying model, to which the author has given the name "WOODY", which means "the wooden one". Without a lot of mathematics and formulas, Franz Kayser explains the various construction principles applied, based on his experience with wood as a building material. From the content: • Small wood encyclopaedia • Weight and strength • Material strength and breaking moment • Quarter and other grains • Effects of grain direction • EWD – the setting angle difference • Centre of gravity position and stall • Auxiliary construction of the slipway • Planking and edge curves • Wing stitching • Servo installation in the wing • The right tailplane • Building a tailplane • A suitable fuselage • The cowl • Hinges for the WOODY • Landing gear construction • Self-built canopy • Building and flying • Extensive appendix
Resin model kits and conversion parts allow modellers to build unusual and obscure aircraft and aircraft variations. However, working with resin requires different techniques and materials that modellers may not be familiar with. Using step-by-step construction photos and a detailed text, this book gives modellers the information they need to confidently tackle any resin model aircraft project. Coverage includes a discussion of what resin is and how castings are produced, along with specific construction techniques, detailed information on tools and airbrushes, scales, glues and paints, conversions, resin and bare metal and how to properly display finished models. The techniques shown apply to any resin model kit or conversion, and much of the information applies to all model types and materials. With very little information available to help modellers build resin kits, this book will fill a gap on the shelves of many aero modellers.
The feeling of happiness when you successfully get a self-built model into the air is priceless. To experience this, you don't have to be an expert or have professional tooling. Wolfgang Braun shows in twenty chapters how you can achieve impressive results in a short time with simple tools. It is as much about tailor-made tools for model making as it is about special manufacturing methods. This book wants to encourage you to build your next model aircraft yourself. So, get to the plan, get set, go! From the content: • Activator syringe • Exhaust dummies • belts made of PU glue • Canopy sheets • Canopies - hot pressed • Cross belt for hand transmitter • Soldering assistant • Micro router • Mini propeller balancer • Vintage landing gear • Precision bores in foam • Propeller mounting with O-rings • Rib illusion (airbrush technique) • Rib illusion (cold and warm deformation) • Keeping scalpels sharp • Spinner and radial cowls made of Styrodur • Wing joint for biplanes • Master models • Fake multi-layer gluing • Why do-it-yourself is fun
