Model Aircraft Fabrication Laboratory

Catalog description

This hands-on laboratory course introduces students to Radio Control model airplane construction. Students learn how to construct their own airplanes from balsa and birch ply, how to install control hardware, and how cover these airplanes using heat-shrink covering materials. Students are required to purchase a kit-of-parts to cover material costs, which will allow them to keep their constructed airframe at the end of the course. Radio control hardware will be provided to students for use during the course, and students will have the option to purchase their own RC hardware to turn their airframe into a fully functional RC model airplane.
