what is the smallest rc plane i can make at a reasonable price for elecrtronics

thank you for any help in advanced

Someone here may be able to help you, but my advice is to post this in one of the "Electric" forums, since when you get tiny, electric power will probably be the propulsion of choice. There are some very tiny (proportional!) actuators available for electric use too... fascinating stuff.

im talkin electric and the reason i put it here is because i was gunna make it all from scratch also when i say tiny im talkin where i have the smallest wingspan i can get like under 9 inches if possible and i would like it to be a 3 channel so i have complete control of how high it goes and that kinda stuff
also i would like to know of a good cheap transmitter and motor and all that good stuff

thanks a gain for any help

I've moved your thread to the indoor and micro electric area to get a better answer from those that practice this stuff.

And my own 2cents. There's gear available that will fly this sort of model but it's not typcial and it's not cheap. I think the RFFS equipment will do the job and there's a good selection of super small motors and the new Li-poly batteries will work great. You'll also need to learn to build very light with sticks and covering similar to the lightest free flight type models like peanut scale and similar designs.

Also I would suggest you start with something in the 16 to 18 inch span region. Unless you've built and flown such models you have a lot to learn before taking on the challenge of a sub 10 inch model.

Good luck

um i was wonderin if you know a good link to the small parts for a micro plane also thw whole point of doin this is to make it so i can fly in very small areas and have something very few people have

also when you say exspensive approxamately how much for parts are you talkin

once again thanks for your help

corwincastle,
We have a few options at www.smallrc.com that may fit what you are looking for. We have RTF's, balsa kits, and radio equipment that allows you to build planes that weigh less then an ounce.
I can answer any questions you may have.
