Most people have the impression that building a model airplane is difficult and time-consuming. What if I told you that there are ways to build a very strong, sturdy, easy-to-fly Custom Scale Models in less than a day and, what's more, it won't cost you a fortune?

Well, the first step is to choose your material. Here, I advise you to avoid balsa wood, which breaks very easily and will therefore cost you a lot of money in the long run. A much better material, just as light, but very strong, is a plastic called corex or flute board. This material can take a beating, it is light and easy to use.

Next, you need to choose a design. You can consider a propeller plane design. The propeller on this type of plane is mounted in the back and pushes the plane through the air rather than pulling it.

In this case, it may be better to buy the plan or the construction manual than to receive a free plan without any explanation. There are even courses available on the Internet that will teach you how to build a model airplane and everything you need to know about flying a model airplane.
