Create a small model of aircraft or helicopter 30-50 cm long

In summary, creating a small model of an aircraft or helicopter that is 30-50 cm long requires careful planning and attention to detail. The process involves selecting the appropriate materials, using precise measurements, and following a step-by-step construction method. The end result is a miniature version of a flying machine that can be proudly displayed or used for educational purposes. With patience and skill, anyone can successfully create their own small model aircraft or helicopter.

Get some magazines devoted to radio-controlled model planes. They'll tell you about what's out there in both gas and electric powered airplanes, and the principles/techniques involved with them.

I don't think they're on the net. You can find them in most magazine stands, like in a grocery store. One that I know of is called "R/C Modeler."
