Design a Foam RC Plane - Failure to Success!

Design a Foam RC Plane - Failure to Success! Join me in this video as I go over the design of a foam RC plane, to include the complete failure of the first test flights to later success. Foam RC allows the model airplane pilot to quickly build anf fly a prototype. Backyard flyer planes are a lot of fun as you do not have to head out to a local flying field. These are ideal RC planes for beginners and newbies. Here for download is a "TurboCAD Sketch" of the plans for the high wing backyard flyer: https://drive.google.com/drive/folder... In short, the change from a high to a low wing, combined with the addition of a fuselage, impacted relative wind over the rudder. The prototype simply would not turn. Addition of ailerons solved the problem. The video goes over my first DIY RC planes for beginners, a high wing design. This model flew great. Using an incremental approach, I simply lowered the wing and built a foam fuselage. By narrowing down any flight failures to these two steps, I could quickly isolate the problems that needed to be fixed. Note that free TurboCAD plans are included in the video, should you want to build one of these models for yourself.
