PLANES
This rc plane series was designed in : Onshape & Rhino 3d
I used:
"Airfoil Tools" to develop
aerofol sections and wing
profiles
"Ecal" to calculate the
propeller geometry
The electronics included 6 servos
and a nose mounted electric
motor driving the two blade propeller.

Plane 1
Laser cut "micro-ply" frames

I wrapped a plywood skin to the body of the plane to stiffen the center of the plane as it was prone to torsion
