The Science Behind Flight
RC Planes are Real Aircraft
Aeronautical theories and principles applicable to full size and scale airplanes/helicopters are exactly the same. Learn more about what is invloved.

We provide talks, demostrations, and workshops in local area schools, to assist Physics and Science teachers with class projects related to the science behind flight.

In this a 3-day program where CRRC volunteers visit your school to teach and mentor your students during the project.
Day 1: CRRC volunteers talk about the basics of flight and provide a live demonstration of different RC model aircarft.
Day 2: Students focus on building a rubber powered free-flight model airplane.
Day 3: Planes are finshed and inspected to ensure that they are properly built, balanced and ready for flight. The session ends with a competition to see whose plane can sustain the longest flight.
For this project we recommend the AMA Cub (Delta Dart) [plans] or the AMA Racer [plans]. Kits from SIG.
