    Making the body of a RC helicopter from balsa wood

    My design is like a kite cut into two equal halves with a tail sticking out of the longest side and I'll try building a prototype.

    I love the book "From Marconi to Telstar" its all about how radio transmission started.

    Making the body of a RC helicopter from balsa wood

    Holla peeps,in the nearest future I hope to make a rc helicopter. I've done a series of researches and so far things are falling into place but I've just hit a hard rock. All model Rc I've seen are either made of aluminum, plastic or panel boards so am wondering what about balsa wood? Its light...

    What type of motor is best for powering a homemade helicopter?

    I have carried out a few researches and so far I have been able to narrow my list down to 5. But am still comparing their specs. Hopefully I should be able to end up with a good one. But I saw something alarming...OVER A HUNDRED BUCKS! Can you imagine. That is really really high.

    What type of motor is best for powering a homemade helicopter?

    I tried but its like looking for a fish in an ocean. Do you know any of such forums? The ones I saw do not involve constructing anything rather how to fly the one they bought.
