Summer is the hottest time when many family people go on vacation to the lake. What should children do while their parents are resting, if they were strictly forbidden to bathe alone. A very fun activity is to launch a radio-controlled boat along the surface of a forest lake. Moreover, making it yourself is quite simple.
In our video you can see how such a boat is made in just 5 minutes.
For such work, we need:
- penoplex;
- scissors;
- paper;
- a pencil;
- jigsaw file;
- knife;
- hot glue;
- radio-controlled equipment.
First of all, on a piece of paper we draw the shape of the hull for our ship. Make sure that the right and left parts are absolutely symmetrical. One part of the body must be narrowed. Cut out the drawn case.
Next, we need to attach this pattern of the future case to the penoplex and draw a pencil around its outline. After that, we cut out our case with a jigsaw file or a file for figure cutting.
Using a knife, we make small recesses for the power supply, which will be located in the rear part in the middle. Equipment will be fixed on top of the power supply. And also for motors to the left and right of the power supply.
We glue the motors symmetrically using hot melt adhesive. Otherwise, the ship will constantly deviate in one direction. Which will greatly complicate its management. In the same way we glue the battery compartments.
We use equipment from a radio-controlled toy airplane.
In the front of the case we install a straight piece of thick wire as a mast. If desired, you can hang a flag or sail on it.
Try not to direct the ship to those places where there is algae, it can get stuck. Small blades simply can not cope with them, but simply wind them and stop spinning.
