FOUR TYPES OF AIR PLANES YOU CAN BUILD

Do you like the beautiful model airplanes that are sold in toy shops and at many sites online? Of course, you can simply go to a store or click on a site and buy what you want most dear. But beyond the fact that models ready for purchase cost is only that the money not as cold as you build yourself models. What kind of model that you can build yourself? Almost everyone. Here are some ideas: Paper airplanes. Building one that has not as a kid? Building paper airplane can be as simple as get a piece of paper and make some folds. But there are airplanes flying with a leading role and remote control or others who are just scale models of existing aircraft. Some enthusiasts even built helicopter that can fly paper. The main drawback of paper airplanes is that they get easily damaged - especially the ones really fly. Free flight of the aircraft. There is a category of aircraft model called "free flight" which means they fly with no attachment to the land, or even your hand. Most models are simple free flight - as well as the simple paper airplanes that we build the children (they are, in fact, free flight airplane models as well). Free flight helicopters are much more difficult than to build aircraft for obvious reasons, but there are people who build them - with self rotating propellers or "recovered" by an elastic mechanism. The free flight planes are very happy and fun. They are easy to lose what is its main drawback. RC Aircraft. Remote control planes are very cool toys, but we really need expertise in electronics and similar things. You will not save money by building such models alone - the ready RC airplanes and helicopters are much cheaper compared with efforts to build up. But if you can build an RC plane by their own hands, you really have something to be cause for pride. You can build airplanes RC much easier if you buy a kit or at least a package of remote control and engine. Static Scale Models. Sounds simple? Actually this is the heavy artillery of the aircraft modeling. Making scale models is difficult because you just have to keep the real scale of the model. This requires high precision and ability to work in very small sizes. The model aircraft can be made of mahogany wood, plastic or even clay. If you are scarified to make everything from scratch you can buy almost ready model, requiring only paint. This is a good way to start. Most supporters of the model of aviation sooner or later we want to build their own models, in addition to what they buy and collect. You may start to build yourself - nothing is too scary and fun.
