journal entry week 9

          Air Boat

          For my project I am planing to be constructing and assembling a remote control fan boat.  I will be firstly deciding the type of plastic or wood that I will use to make the body as well as the adhesive.  I will throughout the process have to learn more about RC machines as well as fan boats, buoyancy and aero-dynamics.  The end goal is to have a floatable fan boat that can be controlled by remote, monitor speed as well as direction.
          The reasons that I have for doing this project are that RC machines and motors are somethingI know very little about.  Although I do not have a great mind for electrical mechanics I would like to have a basic understanding of properties of such.  I think this is an interesting topic that has many obstacles to work through but in the end could feel very accomplishing.  
          What this project will help me do is delve into a intricate topic that I know little to nothing about.  I will understand machines in a different way and also step into a completely new perspective upon machines, boats, weight and buoyancy and electronic engineering.
