He did not build the frame that you're looking at but if you want to build one, the best material when considering weight vs strength vs cost is EPO (expanded polyolefin) foam.

Dude I was gonna castigate you for posting such on a technology thread, but that was ubber cool I must confess. Would like to work with the producer of that video.
Apologise man, never meant to deviate from the topic. Thanks anyway.

lots of peeps getting this Op post twisted, i reread this thread and never saw where d op categorically stated that he invented/built d drone like aircraft, in my comprehension i think the Op is showing off his acquired toy planes.

ts exciting to know there is someone close by that
loves RC. Am just a couple of months old in Nairaland and just saw this
post. I am surprised that since 2008, this topic is only 1 page long.
Ok, I love RC. All around me is RC. My living room, my bedroom, i have
airplane hanging on th wall. I have more than 30 airplane models in my
hanger. My Airplanes are both electric and gas engine. I own jets F-22,
Russian MIG-29 VT, F117 stealth, E-Flite Habu 32, the F-18, the Su-34,
Eurofighter and more. I am also currently assembling my first kero start
turbine jet. Its powered by kingtech 14kg thrust turbine that will use
kerosene mixed with a little oil.
I also have 3D Aerobatics like the E-Flite Carbon-z Yak54, Aeroworks 55cc
Extra, Aeroworks Yak 54. The aerowork extra is huge and uses petrol
mixed with oil.
I fly 3D Aerobatics most of the time and can do a lot of 3D Maneuvers. I
am not much into Helis but I own a T-REX 450 running 3S and Kasama
Size 700+ running 12s. These are serious 3D Helis with Gyros and I fly
around pretty comfortably but still learning 3D.
I am also interested in RC cars and boats. I have 2 E-Revo RC electric
buggy and 1 Baja5B 29cc Petrol engine buggy. I also have a Genesis
catamaran RC Boat that I sail once in a while in Jabi Lake Abuja. I have
lots of video but too busy to edit and upload to youtube. I have just a
few - http://www.youtube.com/user/sidajili
If you are out there and interested in RC hobby, lets hook up and share
ideas. These are serious stuff and NOT toys for kids. Lets meet and fly.

Capt. JH Miller:
its amazing how people think when they do not have knowledge of things.

Go to youtube and type in the search box 'RC Planes'

RC planes are built by companies and then retailed to customers,all you have to do is take the pieces from the box and assemble them.
You right but that doesn't mean one can't build an RC Airplane without using kits. Once you have your propeller, brushless motor, servo motors, servo push rods and a radio system. You can actually build your own design, say an Airfoilz with salsa and foam. Just saying...

actually, they are not toys, its takes great brains, which, no offense, nothing personal, (clearing throat and implying, muttering silently, you don't h_v_***)...you should get more enlightened

Whoa it great. I hope they did it themselves. But where will they get that kind quality of steel and engines. Pls let D govt quickly considerd these ppl. There is no other way to it. At least, build a laboratory in Abuja university, with researchers and D inventor, study models, see if we can get army materials, then go for commercial ones. Soon we start making drones. Even will be trilled to buy D first Africa products of such types.

WTF
What if the NAF engineer who oversees the design, construction and deployment of this technology is a member of Nairaland ?
You think everyone on Nairaland is a teenager ?

Thanks. I will recommend beginning your RC experience using any of the available simulators in the market. My favorite is Realflight 6.5. After learning to fly, you will start with a very basic trainer aircraft, usually the high wing type. Modeling is equally as interesting as flying the aircraft itself. The models you see in the picture are highly engineered jets that uses turbines for propulsion.

We have a hobby group in Abuja that meets every Sunday afternoon for flying and exchange of ideas. If you are out there and have time to build, model and fly RC aircraft, just know that you are not alone! I will keep posting pictures via this thread.

My aim is to encourage creative minds out there and provide as much technical resource as possible to help anyone start and enjoy this hobby, which can transition to small unmanned AVs for civilian applications. I will post more videos of my flights, builds and models via my you tube page - http://youtube.com/sidajili

Waoh... I am amazed at the tons of posts... ok, I don't blame anyone for doubts...Thanks for all the comments.

I am here to share what I know, and also meet those willing to share what I don't know. I am sure there creative and smart Nairalanders out there. This thread was meant to kick start RC Modeling and Flying amongts Nairalanders. Any admins out there can help us create a dedicated RC Modeling section. Time permitting, I guarantee you will all be seeing some interesting stuff.

@Sidajili

What do you have in yours? Are you flying FPV yet? If so, how far can you go?

One of my buddies flies FPV, but I don't. My buddie (does most of our aerial shots) has the quads, with hd cameras. Has auto hold and a couple of waypoints. Send me pictures of your quad lets take it from there. I would like to know the maker, autopilot software and waypoint capabilities. You can PM me if you would like to sell it off when you come to Naija.
