Several RC Airplane flying enthusiasts build their own airplane. Building a RC airplane is both fun and challenging. If you want to build your own remote controlled airplane you can follow the tips mentioned below:

1. The first thing is to choose a RC Airplane kit that is easy to build. You can opt for a starter plane kit. These kits come with easy to assemble precut balsa wood pieces. You only need to buy the electronics to complete construction of your remote controlled aircraft. While buying the kit, make sure that you choose a transmitter and receiver that are compatible with your kit. You can find all the spare parts easily available in all hobby shops.

1. Find a big work area like a garage, spread all the parts, and be sure that all the wooden pieces are in good order.

1. Start with assembling the fuselage of your RC airplane. Assembling of the body of the airplane will depend on the type of kit you buy. Your kit may have precut pieces or you need to cut the pieces by yourself. If it is not precut, you can cut the pieces using a knife. While you cut you must apply even pressure through the wood so that the parts don’t get damaged. Once cut, you can glue and put together the body parts.

1. Next, assemble the wings, tail and rudder pieces. Glue the pieces and allow it to dry for sometime.

1. Place a skinning material and skin the airplane smoothly as you move along the parts of the plane. You must make sure that there are no wrinkles as it can cause a problem to the flight mechanics of your RC Airplane.

1. Connect the tail, rudder and wings to the fuselage using pins and glue depending on the design of your airplane.

1. Place the push rods, control horns and mounting pates to the body of your airplane. Next, attach the RC receiver, speed controller and battery to the airplanes body and wire the electric system. Connect the battery to the receiver and shut the electronics compartment.

1. Turn on the RC transmitter to test the control systems. Ensure that the moving parts in your RC airplane are reacting precisely to the transmitter signals. Make changes if necessary. Once the parts move in coordination with the receiver, you are all set to fly your RC airplane.
