Who has not dreamed in his life of acquiring a radio-controlled helicopter? Most likely, there are few such people. But why buy when you can make a helicopter with your own hands?
This type of model is highly valued not only among the children's half of the population, but also among adults who will never refuse to feel younger by several years. In addition, if it was decided to make a helicopter yourself, you will not have to spend money on its purchase.
In principle, the process of creating a helicopter is not very labor intensive. In order to create a do-it-yourself radio-controlled helicopter, it will be necessary to purchase materials such as building polystyrene, power unit, adhesives and coloring agents. In the process of creating an aircraft, you will need to design a special drawing. The whole process can be divided into the following steps:
- First you need to purchase a special foam, the thickness of which will reach 30 millimeters. Also do not forget about the design of the drawing. This can be done both independently and found in the literature. Do-it-yourself design involves creating a drawing in three different forms.
- To create a helicopter with your own hands, you will need to install an engine. It must be mounted simultaneously with the screw. Together with the engine, you will need to buy a battery, the duration of the flight depends on the capacity of which.
- In the process of creating you will need to purchase a large number of additional parts. It is better to buy them in stores specializing in the sale of spare parts and models of this type. In addition, in such institutions you can always consult on a matter of interest.
- In order to create a do-it-yourself radio-controlled helicopter, you should transfer the drawing project to a foam sheet. Having circled the templates and cutting them out with the help of a cutter, it is necessary to proceed to gluing them together. You can do this with super glue. After completing all work, the surface of the finished model of the helicopter should be treated with fine sandpaper. This procedure will create a more accurate appearance of your aircraft. The joints should be strengthened with special insulating tape. It is necessary to fix the wings of the future model from their lower side.
- It is impossible to create a do-it-yourself helicopter, which will also fly, without additional parts and electronics. They should be mounted according to the instructions. The power unit is mounted on a special frame made of wooden planks.
The final touch in creating a helicopter is its decoration. To do this, you should paint the model with coloring agents, relying on your imagination and creativity. As you can see, making a helicopter with your own hands is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. It should be understood that in this case, care and accuracy will be required, otherwise the radio-controlled aircraft will not fly.
