Okay so I always wanted to do this, what do I need to make a RC airplane controlled by a computer and has like a camera attached for feedback? Is it possible to get mini jet engines? Is it possible for me to make a RC plane hover? If so how?


Answer
These things are all possible with enough $$. For example, check out http://www.cloudcaptech.com. The stuff is expensive, but it does what you want.

There are mini jet engines in the world, but they are extremely expensive, heavy and complicated for an RC aircraft, and they fly much too fast. I think what you really want is something that *looks* like a jet engine but is really a propeller. Those are called ducted fans, and they are small, cheap and easy to get from any RC model shop.

Any RC plane can hover if it has enough power--just point the plane straight up and give it throttle. If thrust>weight, it can hover. Hovering with the nose level (like a Harrier) is harder--it would require a dedicated lift fan, which I've never seen on an RC plane. In principle it could be done, though. But why not just build a helicopter?

how can you build a RC helicopter ?

Q. My friend an i want to build a powerful rc helicopter with a wireless cam that has a good range but we have no plan on how to build it and where to buy the stuff for it


Answer
RC Crafting was once a exciting hobby enjoyed by all ages, but nowadays with smaller and cheaper electronics, it has long died as an art form. The sheer joy of detailing a minature craft and watching it take off was the Nintendo of yester-years.

The fact that you specified a wireless cam as an attachment leads me to think its not RC'ing you two are interested in, but rather sight-seeing or dare I say, spying, is what you are exactly looking for. In that case they already make something like that as a toy. It has limited range and either a b/w camera or a colour one. Some have mini monitors built into the controller, and others require pc or TV hookup for the receiver.
