The Flying Fool remote controlled airplane

       The design of the fuselage is complete using the basic features of Solidworks.
       The main skin for the fuselage and the main and lower wing was created using the Surfaces feature built within Solidworks
       The elevator and rudder have been designed to use solid balsa wood or foam.
       The entire project is 100% complete
       Solidworks is one of the most powerful 3D design programs available. I set out on this project to learn more about Surfaces. I have also learned a lot about Scaling, Assemblies, Configurations within the Solidworks environment. Most of the resources I have used come from www.youtube.com and the Solidworks 2010 bible. I have included some videos at the bottom of the page.
