If you’re interested in airplanes, electronics, and building, then say no more! Learn how to construct an aircraft out of some household materials, hot glue, wires, and sophisticated electronics. Safely prepare for takeoff using a fun, software-based RC flight simulator. Then later, take control of your own newly constructed aircraft using a transmitter you programmed to get flying outside and above the trees. Gain the necessary entry level skills to fly, repair, and rebuild. With staff supervision, campers will be using hot glue guns and sharp knives to construct their aircraft. And at the end, campers will take home what they’ve built... or crashed. Do you Teen Corps Age: 14-16 yrs. Attention teens!
