How to Build a Great Homemade RC Airplane Really Cheap

This shows how I built my scratch built rc Ultra Lite Slow Flyer airplane. It has a 47" wingspan and is made from wood and 3/4" pink foam insulation sheet. I contoured the wings with a hot wire cut...

3 channel transmitter & receiver , 2 9g mini servos form ebay, and I replaced the motor with a brushless outrunner 1000kv motor(came w/prop mount) and 30 amp ESC, 2200 mah LiPo 15c battery - all from ebay . Recommend buying servo control rods at a hobbyshop instead of pin gun wire. Control horns from hobby shop for some Hobbyzone airplane. Also 10x7 eflite prop. Hope that helps.

nice. try moving the wing back and you can remove the extra weight. it will fly much slower.

Hey thanks, I might try that. After a few perfect flights, the motor system seemed to not be as strong anymore and I was having trouble gaining altitude, So I got a brushless outrunner, haven't tried it yet, but will keep that in mind if needed.

brushless motors and li-po batteries are the way to go. i've almost stoped flying my gas airplanes because the battery powered planes are so easy to fly almost no trouble.

Thank you, the elevator goes up & down if that's what you mean. There are no ailerons on the wings, just tape to protect the edge.
