RC Plane
A hand-built fixed-wing RC aircraft designed, balanced, and flown by the team.

Overview
Our RC plane project covered the full journey of flight: airfoil selection, control-surface design, centre-of-gravity balancing, and maiden-flight trimming.
Highlights
- Foam-board airframe with reinforced spar
- Three-channel control: throttle, elevator, rudder
- Carefully balanced centre of gravity
- Successful maiden flight and landing
The Challenge
Achieving a stable, trimmed flight demanded precise CG placement and control-throw tuning before the first launch.
The Outcome
Completed multiple controlled flights, giving the team its first taste of aeromodelling.

A slayer-exciter Tesla coil that produces visible high-voltage arcs and wirelessly lights bulbs.
Why we built this
High-voltage demos inspire curiosity; we designed ours with safety cut-offs so we can bring electromagnetism to any classroom.
