One day I was thinking what to build next, and for some random reason this little thing came into my head. The little thing was a micro budget plane. I spent only about half an hour designing the shape of the plane and how it was going to look, but i am quite pleased with it. First of all I bought one sheet of 6mm balsa wood and one sheet of 2mm balsa wood. This only cost about £2.10. Next I bought some piano wire for 50p and some tiny foam wheels that I got for free. This was all of the material to build the plane its self, but now i needed electronics. I found a small rc glider on the market for £15.00 so I bought it. Now I just stripped it of it's electronics and stuck them into my micro plane. The rudder uses a proportional actuator to move, the throttle is driven by a fairly small brushed motor and this is all powered by a 3.7v li-po battery. Overall I ended up with a micro plane that flies fast and was no more than £17.60. Please leave feedback on what you think this plane is like and what I should call it.
