Electric Flight- What a nice way to fly!

Model electric aircraft plans and information on a building slow flyer, speed 400, speed 600 etc models and gliders. Details on building a foam hot wire cutter and the making of wing core templates. How to use the foam hot wire cutter and techniques for cutting delta wings.

A good range of downloadable CAD drawings in DXF and DWG format (See list below).

Slow flyer building instructions including DXF plans for the wing and fuselage and numerous photos to aid in construction . Material list and links to instructions on how to apply tissue coverings for extra light finishes.

Spread sheet flight performance calculators in excel format. These are simple to use and provide very useful information from wing loading, power consumption estimations in watts and amps, and potential climb rates, etc. You don't have to include every detail like prop pitches or gear box ratios. It's made simple to give general results that help in designing models. A scaling spread sheet allows you to copy models from review articles without plans (as long as there are suitable side and top photos of the model).

The site contains other various topics, some of these mentioned below:

• A section on weight and length conversions
• Wing designing, how to tissue cover balsa frames, using computer software for balsa rib and foam core template designing (Compufoil),
• What to do when starting in electric flight and what type of glider to select,
• What electric motor combinations work,
• Information on Black Wire Syndrome,
• Electric circuits,
• how to check your radio range, and possible solutions to fixing interference,
• Information on electric ducted fan (EDF) models,
• Various data tables for battery cells and wing covering material weights, and
• Pictures of various models, current projects of the Author and friends.

Plus there are more...

For some time now I have been wanting to construct a site that gives a little information on how to do certain things in regard to model aircraft building. I should say that I am no expert, however what I make usually flies quite well!

Over the years my interests have greatly changed in regard to what kind of models I enjoy to build. I think most builders go through these stages. Initially I began with beginner gliders, on to IC aircraft and A helicopter (crash'n'burn). Then, and with more passion, I delved into electric flight and slope soaring. For quite a few years now I have focused on building electric planes, gliders, slope soarers, and more recently slow flyers.
