This episode is quite shorter than usual done, because it's coincide with family gathering on Christmas holiday this year. But I still try to update the build progress for this week. In this part 3, we will build the basic shape of the main wing, with 180 cm wingspan dan 22 cm chord. The main wing can be dismantled into 3 pieces for easier transport. The most outer wings that will host the ailerons and pontoon are detachable. The main wing also detachable from its fuselage as well.

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.

This project is very simple, how to make wind direction windsock using simple and cheap material, which is plastic bags. Windsock is very useful for an RC flying field, it shows the RC pilots which way to take off and landing. Beside useful as a wind direction tool it also decorate your RC field to looks like a real aircraft runway strip, which a windsock always visible. How to make process and calibration is covered in this video.

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.
