In this episode we will build our project in series, which is Bombardier CL-415 with Maritim Malaysia color scheme. I designed this model plane to be able to take and land on water and on the ground as well. Equipped with detach-able landing gears for cheap and easy building but still maintain the 2 functions. WIth no landing gear on board it will make the plane lighter and I hope it can take off easily from water. In this part 1 we will build the fuselage, fin and landing gears. Plans and decal can be downloaded on the link below. In this video I mentioned about pilot figure tutorial, but unfortunately I forgot to add it while on editing so it will be covered on the next episode.

You can build yourself Cessna 172 model plane by following build tutorial on this video. The tutorial is pretty straight forward with easy to understand steps. Start from foam sheet into flying the plane itself with brushless motor electric power and control by radio. Painting process is also covered in this video. This model plane use color from the real plane, it's belong to an Indonesian famous pilot Youtuber Captain Vincent Raditya. This plane is pretty stable and easy handling, but not recommended for beginners who never flown an RC model plane before. The scale looks of this plane is very interesting to see when flying in the air. Take off and Landing are also scale like.

Before maiden flight, we need to finish the aircraft with few steps, like making a battery hatch door, maintenance hatch door, marking the CG position, attaching control horns and pushrods. Maiden flight was scheduled on last Saturday but failed because one of the ESC is different and causing different speed from each motor. It finally flew well on Monday and Tuesday after both ESC were replaced.
