Q. I have recently made a plane and the tail is heavier so how do i make the nose heavy?
Ans. Usually when the engine is installed the plane balances, but if the tail is still heavier you can put non-hardening clay or some coins to wheightmake it up.heavier.
Q. I have made a control line aircraft with wings made of single sheet of balsa wood, but as it is only a sheet of balsa it is weak so how do I make it strong?Joe.
Ans. youYou can mix french chalkpowder with automotivepaintautomotive paint and apply it with your fingers or with a peice of wood (as it is too thick to use a brush) and then sand it lightly till it becomes smooth, and then you can put a coat of automotive paint + thinner to dilute it . and paint with brush.
Now your wing is strong!
Q. Hi i am santosh i don't want to buy the plane from the net, so is there any place where i can buy it from india?
Ans. You are in luck! I happen to live in indiaIndia so iI know there is a large airplane shop called indiaIndia hobby center in kolkata
which is large. I am sure you will find the plane you want therethere.
Q. My plane isn't flying. It is a chuck glider and when i throw it into the air it falls nose down.
Ans. It is thea weightingweight problem. Don't worryworry, it is common and it can be solved easily! There is too much weight on the nose. Just remove the weight from the nose or add some in the tail until it balances on the C.G (center of gravity)gravity), a point located on the wing usually on one thirdone-third of it. To check thisthis, all you have to do is to hold the plane with your fingers under the C>GC.G point and it should balance,balance. addAdd and remove weight untill it does so. The C.G point is ususally given in the plan.
