Project Goals

What are the goals of this project?

• Create and share RC simulator models

• Describe how to build models 

• Learn about aerodynamic parameters and modelling

• Display interesting aircraft designs

• Inspire building and flying unusual models to illustrate design and creativity

• Enjoyment of aircraft design aesthetics

• Learn how to fly a model aircraft with a transmitter before I fly a real model

• Choose a model aircraft that is good for learning (I prefer more neutral jet trainers rather than screaming Cessna 172s)

• Try out model in simulation before building a model, then build models and compare characteristics

Next steps:

Complete the PC 9 with retractable landing gear and describe how it is done.  COMPLETED

Complete the Mikoyan Ye-2 with retracts and realistic handling.  COMPLETED

SNCASE SE 212 Durandal IN PROGRESS
