Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hi
I am Krishna Sai from Kakinada.
I actually have a problem regarding my project.
I actually designed my plane on a paper but I dont have any idea how to make it with materials or how to crate the structure. I will to make it out of composites and Carbon. Can anyone giving me handy tips and ideas.
Thank u.

Hi Krishna Sai,

How big is the airplane that you designed? The size of your airplane will affect how much material you need and the cost of building the airplane. When you designed the airplane, did you do so using specific building materials? Or did you sketch a design without any particular building materials in mind?

You can try doing an internet search for "materials for building model airplanes" and "how to build model airplanes". The results you find from these searches can guide you with both building materials and construction techniques. I'm not sure what type of composites are readily available for small-scale airplanes, nor what the cost of such materials would be.

Post back as you have other questions.
