A balsa wood glider is really easy to make despite the physics involved in its flight. Make one yourself and have a ton of ...

I have seen big RC planes in the past, but this is really getting out of hand. I watch these videos of giant scale RC planes—the one above is 85 percent of the original size!—and I have to wonder what ...

I made this amazing battery pack using 18650 cells, performing about 3X better than a LiPo battery of roughly the same weight ...

Conventional airfoil wings have come out on top for getting flying machines airborne over the last century, but there were a few other interesting designs that have come and gone. One of these is the ...

About two years ago, pilot and industrial designer Shai Goitein came up with a way to turn any paper airplane into a remote-controlled drone by simply attaching a device to it. Now, he has partnered ...

The Mid-Missouri Radio Control Association (MMRCA) promotes building and flying radio-controlled airplanes and STEM education. MMRCA works with youth organizations and aims to establish an aviation ...

Recently I was able to build a version of a tiny microcontroller-based LED strobe light for RC airplanes. The build is not very advanced, but it is almost a complete kit. Let’s start with the easy ...

Anyone with an inkling of interest in super-sized remote control aircraft probably has at least seen some of the mind-blowing projects that [Ramy RC] has worked on over the years, with examples like ...
