I had the kids scratch build RC airplanes. Here are the results. Some of the airplanes flew, and some did not. Some of the airplanes were just too heavy. Some of the airplanes the CG was too far aft. With some minor tweaks these airplanes will fly. Here is a 3 minute video about the project. Thanks to Joris Lillge and Steve McGlothlin for their help.

The airplanes need to be electric, such as the “Airhog” brand.
Here are some recommendations (I have a collection of replacement parts for these airplanes)…
