For this project we'll leave the air for a while and hit the water. I made a mini RC boat with waste foam material, which is small styrofoam meal box waste. You can also buy the foam box very cheap or by using 2mm depron foam or XPS foam. I also wanted to experiment for using only servo for the electronics. Inside servo there are few part that are mini ESC and off course mini brushed motor. I use all that parts for thrusting a mini boat. I also experimenting with differential thrust setup and more common setup with single prop and a rudder. Actually the result is better to use common setup with single prop and a rudder, because differential thrust tend to brings more problems, like steering difficulty, broke shaft and drained to many battery ampere. You can choose which setup to suit you best or even improving it.

Piper Cherokee is a private and trainer plane. Made by Piper Aircraft. first flight in 1960. It still in production until now with variants Arrow, Archer and Warrior. This plane is very stable and easy for handling. I made an RC plane of it in semi scale model. I made its wing longer than the real one. The front wheel it's not steerable but don't worry you can still steer it on the ground with rudder.

This model is the second release on the RC project category but the first one that I made a detailed video tutorial for it. In youtube video tutorial I use Bahasa Indonesia because my oral english is not fluent enough to transfer a clear information, even in Bahasa I'm not good too, talking is not my favorite activity actually (lol), but don't worry I already put English subtitle on it, make sure you turn the translation on (CC).

This new category originally was named AR Drone 2 Custom Hull. Starts from now I change it to "RC Projects". Just like the name this category will hosted many RC (Radio Controlled) projects from aircraft, boat, car or even robot, with different kind of materials not just paper, can be foam, wood, plywood, plastic, etc. I begin with this RC plane Extra 300. I use 2 kind of materials which is 3 and 5 mm foam sheet, it's familiar with the name depron foam, but in where I live it is called "polyfoam". The 2nd material is 3 mm and 9 mm plywood. The design process of this foamy RC plane is pretty similar from designing a papermodel or papercraft. The build process is also similar.
