brendan007: Keeping weight down is a challenge but polystyrene takes care of that nicely. Apart from unavailability, Balsa planes take lots of time to build and do not survive crashes well. Foamies are foamies. You can bash it all you want and glue it back quickly after a crash. There's a company close to my location that deals in polystyrene. I get them nicely pre-cut. But if you're around Lagos, a friend gets his from one market. What's your exact location? |
Re: RC Cars, Drones And Planes by brendan007: 5:12pm On Jan 11, 2020 |
RCDIY: My location is Uyo, Akwa Ibom. How possible is it to get some polystyrene foam from your location? |

brendan007: The thing can be quite bulky. It's cheap to buy but sending it your way would cost a fortune |

RCDIY: Do you have the dimensions and possibly a picture of a standard sheet and how much does it cost? |
Re: RC Cars, Drones And Planes by RCDIY(m): 12:39pm On Jan 14, 2020 |
brendan007: I buy 10cm (thickness) X 120cm (length) X 100cm (width). Cost about #600 per sheet for 30kg/cm density. It's sliced with great consistency and I get extras if my guy is feeling generous |

RCDIY: Today, 14th January, is my birthday. I had planned to go flying my delta wing model but haven't been able to fix it after it crashed on Sunday. So I decided to rebuild it and maybe share some of the steps in turning flat polystyrene sheets into a flyable model. Unfortunately I didn't take much dimensions since I wasn't building to a particular scale. Here are some pictures of the build

RCDIY: Wishing you a very happy birthday. I pray for more of God’s grace upon your life. May you remain always happy. |
Re: RC Cars, Drones And Planes by brendan007: 11:28pm On Jan 14, 2020 |
RCDIY: Guess the build is complete. Hope to see some videos soon. What’s your wing loading? |
Re: RC Cars, Drones And Planes by RCDIY(m): 1:25pm On Jan 15, 2020 |
brendan007: Nah. Started late last night. I'll probably finish tonight and maiden tomorrow. Not really sure what the wing loading is but it's most likely in the range 2kg or less (kg/m²). 1 Like |

Thanks to everyone contributing to this thread. I am an engineering student year 3, how can I get started with stuffs like this?? What do I need to learn? Online courses that would help me?. I would be very glad if I can get an answer. Thanks you. |
Re: RC Cars, Drones And Planes by RCDIY(m): 10:01am On Jul 19, 2020 |
saheedniyi22:Most of the info you need are available on YouTube. You gotta have some enthusiasm and imagination too. It's really no big deal. And once you get stuff to fly for the first time, you'll love it. It does require a fair amount of financial investment. Good RC parts are not cheap. If you have a direct enquiry, you can ask. I'll be more than happy to help. Cheers! |

If you want my advice and if you are a beginner I can highly recommend you to these guys https://top-10-drones.com/top-10-cheapest-drones-beginners-120/. When i just started i thought that i know what i am doing but every time i lost the race in the park and once i found just a perfect Rc drift car. Now I am on a high level and my team is planning to win the next hood championship. I never thought that I would like this kind of sport but now every weekend I take my radio controller and plan to destroy everybody on the track. My wife says that I am like a little boy but she doesn't understand how important it is for me. |
