Hot Wire Styrofoam Plane PART 6 - those hot wire bows

I thought I would see what I can do following the examples on YouTube already. This is split over several episodes and in it's own playlist. Today's episode is the looking at the hot wire bows I made for this project. There are currently 6 videos in the series, all uploaded and scheduled for release on a daily basis. There will be at least 1 more when I get suitable conditions to fly it properly. Main components - Styrofoam Packing tape Wood Wire from hairdryer Each wing is 15" so 30" span. Centre chord is 10" Tip chord is 7" The flaps or ailerons add about another 2" Main Tools - Hot Glue Gun Sharp knife The radio control transmitter and receiver listing http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190888163364 Last time I bought servos I got 10 on this listing http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261521757538 V-Tail mixer http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171506174745 LiPo Battery bag http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190841326906 2S LiPo Battery http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161353872995 2-6S Lipo BEC UBEC http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131272691038 Filmed using FujiFilm FinePix S4800 Edited using Serif MoviePlus Starter Edition Luke Gibson spotted the little chuck glider next to the pile of styrofoam.

To find them follow my search guides /watch/wgcHOoOSBecSH or /watch/kRYwkwgU4jZUw or see my playlists page /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan My "GrandadsOtherChannel" channel is generally where I will host the videos that give extra detail or longer versions of the videos I post on my main channel /channel/UC2mp_L8RoxMyw3ewwSecZ6Q
