Introduction: RC Paper Airplane for $16! (20 Minute Build Time)

About: I love to make things and I love my kids. This usually results in me making things with my kids (and lovely wife). Here you will find our adventures and be able to join our family in the making!

Everyone has one of those cheap RC mini quadcopters that is either broken or gathering dust once the novelty ended.

...or so you thought!!!

If you have one laying around or needed one more reason to give in to your inner child and buy one then this instructable is for you.

Start by watching the build video above then print the template and collect your supplies as you embark on an amazingly affordable, quick, and fun build!

Supplies:

Happy flying and thanks for using my link to purchase your quadcopter. That link is an affiliate link which means I will get something like 64 cents if you buy one. :-) it's not much but every little bit helps!!!

Step 1: Get Inspired!

I loved flying this with my kids and if you have little ones this can be a fun activity to do at the park. Just make sure you GO TO THE SLIDES FIRST! Take a second to learn from our mistakes as we discovered this design as well as some important parenting insights.

I have provided all of the instructions in the build video above. Again, you can download the printable template here.

If you are needing to order a quadcopter I have found that amazon has reliably good prices. We got these for my kids for christmas and we had a blast with them before the airplane conversion. Here is the link: http://amzn.to/2lmeo8V
