Project Proposal

Date: January 29, 2013

Project Title: Scale RC Plane, The “Flying Fool” stunt plane

Course Title: Portfolio Preparation, IVY Tech Community College

Project Overview:

          The design and creation of the remote controlled bi-wing stunt plane call “The Flying Fool”

Statement of Development:

                During the development of my “Flying Fool”, I plan to use the Solidworks 3D modeling software to design the airframe. Once the airframe is built in 3D space I will then create the outer skin of the plane using the Surfacing part of the software.

Detailed Project Description:

                After doing some research on the internet, I will use drawings and photos of the “Flying Fool”  to create a 3d model of the airframe. From the 3d model I will then build the plane from balsa wood, foam and or fiberglass. From the prints and measurement,  I will be able to use the drawings from Solidworks to create the parts to build the plane.  Once the airframe is designed in 3D space, I can then use the Solidworks software to find the actual weight of the plane to determine the size of Electric motor  that I will use in the plane for the first flight.

Major Tasks and Milestones:

                Building of the actual plane and flying the plane by the end of the semester.
