    Check compatibility of my parts please

    I am building a DIY rc plane out of a foam glider and I want to know if all of these parts will fit together and if my battery is small enough. I want to have a longer flight time but obviously want the plane to fly as well. Let me know what you guys think!

    Potato Launcher Cannon Project

    Inspired by the Backyard Scientist’s potato launcher glider, I’m working on writing up a project guide for my nephews (whom are only 8 and 9 years old) so that we can make a glider ourselves. I will be tasking them to do some basic research for glider designs, and want them to learn as much as...
