Sir/ Madam,
Sub : Proposal for conducting Flying Aircraft modeling Workshop reg : Dt : 30 Mar 2016
It is proposed to conduct a Remote controlled Aircraft / Hovercraft/ Boat De-sign, fabrication
and flying workshop in your esteemed institution , The following topics covered in our workshop .
TOPICS

Session 1
Introduction to Aero modeling
Discussion of Goals of Workshop
A brief introduction about modeling airplanes: static and flying models
Explore Different categories: Free Flight, Powered Flight, Control Line and Radio Controlling
Flying
Basic Components of an Aero model: Fuselage, Wings, Radio Control, ESC, Receiver, Servo
motors, servo controlling, etc.
Session 2
Getting your hands dirty
Construction of 40 cm Glider from different
materials: Balsa wood or Styrofoam
Fuselage Designing techniques and calculations
Concept of C.G. and C.P in an Aero-model
Graph plotting and calculations about wing span,
tail span, ruder, ailerons and fuselage of the
complete Aero-model on graph paper.
Session 3

An introduction to Flight
What makes planes fly?
Overview of Flight control Surfaces
Four Basic forces of flight
Basic Terminologies
How planes can Maneuver

Session 4

An introduction to Gliders
What are Gliders? How do they glide?
Understanding the wings and its importance
Types of wings construction
Basic Glider Design: What goes where?

Session 5

Servo Motors
What are servos? Where are these used
How to control a servo motor: PWM technique
Installation of the servos in Aeromodels: ruder, ailerons and tail
