This time we're going to modify our last glider to make it RC, with a micro motor so we can have a lot more fun flying for up to 7 minutes. This balsa wood airplane / glider was made in a previous video which you can find in the link below.

![RC airplane made at home with really cheap materials
All the information you need is here:
Are you interested in a complete online course to learn all about the hobby?
https://joyplanes.com/en/mini-course-rc-airplane/
In this video, youll see how easy is to build your own RC airplane from scratch. Anyone can make an rc airplane with very cheap materials and RC components.
✫【All you need is in this article https://joyplanes.com/en/diy-rc-airplaneon/ 】✫
Now Youll find all you need to complete this project in the information below.
[1] The components youll need to build this airplane are the following:
✈ Kit, motor, esc and propellers http://bit.ly/2UAV5JG (select 1400 KV )
✈ X4 9g servos http://bit.ly/2S7q5Q6
✈ 3S battery http://bit.ly/39mLH0n (Due to some regulations you better off buying the batteries from a local store or pay the extra for shipping)
✈ Lipo battery charger http://bit.ly/2H4KUVV
✈ FlySky i6 Radio and receiver http://bit.ly/2H4CvSz (Choose mode 2)

![NAV lighting system for RC airplanes | 555 timer IC
Today we are going to create a strobe light for the tips of the wings of an RC airplane using a 555 timer (NE 555 or LM 555 IC) this circuit is very easy to make with few components and most importantly very cheap. The lights are also called NAV lights or navigation lights.
Here youll find everything you need to create this project.
