Some building here and there

Overview

Another thing I was exposed to throughout my time at the AeroDesign Team was the process of manufacturing an RC model aircraft, despite it not being my primary interest. During my time as a general member, I learned how to and got experience with:

  • Monokote and shrink-wrap plastics
  • Wet layups
  • Wet, vacuum-bagged layups
  • Carbon fiber tube layups
  • Hotwire foam cutting
  • Balsa/plywood construction
  • 3D printing
  • Laser cutting

And have, therefore, gotten experience with:

  • Power drills
  • Dremels
  • Belt sander
  • Band saw
  • Miter saw
  • And more

I have also been involved with different types of model constructions:

  • Monocoque fuselages
  • Built-up fuselages
  • Foam-core wings
  • Built-up, composite skin wings
  • And more
