Quick and Easy Realistic Cockpit for RC Model Airplane

Join me in this video as I demonstrate a quick and easy way to make a realistic cockpit for any RC model airplane using a cockpit and/or canopy print out from your computer and some foam board. This is a great DIY project to make an RC airplane cockpit and canopy.

Two reverse images of the cockpit of used and glued to each side of the foam board. I use self adhesive plastic covering to give the illusion of a plexiglass canopy.

The result is a lightweight and surprisingly realistic cockpit and canopy that can be used on any RC model airplane.
