You can design an airplane from available tools, spending a minimum of time and effort. At the same time, such an aircraft model, with correct adjustment, will be able to fly far enough. Having built several of these planes, you can compete with your friends in the flight range of your models.
It is necessary
- - a sheet of notebook paper in a cage;
- - match;
- - a three-sided object.
Instructions
Step 1
Take a sheet of notebook paper and draw on it drawings of the wing and tail of the aircraft in accordance with the diagram shown in the figure. Carefully cut out the details and bend the keels on the tail unit along the dotted lines.
Step 2
Take a match that will be used as the fuselage of the future aircraft. The match must be of high quality, that is, straight-layered and even. Cut off part of it with a blade, as shown in the figure. Sand the cut area with sandpaper. Now glue the tail unit (see picture). Use PVA glue or similar.
Step 3
Find a triangular object on which you can balance the fuselage with the tail. For example, you can cut a triangular prism out of wood yourself, or use a triangular ruler. If the fuselage is not balanced in any way and the tail of the aircraft outweighs, glue a small piece of plasticine to the nose (to the sulfur head of the match). When the balance point is found, mark it - it will be the center of gravity of your aircraft.
Step 4
Glue the wing to the fuselage, making an indent towards the nose 2.5 mm from the center of gravity. After the wing is glued, you need to bend it about 8 °, as shown in the figure.
Step 5
Your plane is ready, but in order for it to fly well, it needs to be tuned. Take it with two fingers and smoothly run horizontally. Watch his flight. If he immediately dives down, bend the horizontal part of the tail up. If it quickly descends flat, on the contrary, you need to bend the tail a little down. If the plane is turning to the right, it is necessary to bend the folds on the tail unit to the left. If he turns to the left, you need to bend them to the right. By bending the left or right side of the wing, you will get rid of the aircraft's roll. With an ideal setting, your plane will fly straight and descend smoothly and fly at least 8 meters.
