Day 1: AEROGO's Aeromodelling Workshop - Building the Basics and RC Planes


The day started early as we arrived at Gopalan College of Engineering and Management, where the magic was about to happen. The first thing on the agenda was setting up for an adventure that would leave a lasting mark on all participants.


On the first day of this exciting journey, we began by laying the essential groundwork for the upcoming RC plane workshop. The students were about to step into the captivating world of remote-controlled Aeromodelling, and it was crucial to ensure they had a strong foundation in the key concepts and skills they would need. This day was all about setting the stage for hands-on learning and action-packed experiences that would define the rest of the workshop.


An Introduction to RC Planes


The workshop began with an engaging presentation that got the students all excited for the journey ahead. Gouthami T S, the Co-founder and CEO of AEROGO, brought a wealth of knowledge and passion to the group. During her presentation, she covered the basics of RC planes, talked about the forces that make them fly, explained aircraft terminology, and different parts of an aircraft, and even went over the different components used in RC Planes. It was a comprehensive introduction that really set the stage for what was to come.



The presentation session was incredibly interactive and engaging. Gouthami T S encouraged questions and discussions throughout, making it a dynamic learning experience for the students. Her passion for RC planes truly shone through, and the students felt excited and involved as they explored the fascinating world of aeromodelling.



With knowledge freshly imparted, the students were divided into 20 teams, each comprising five members. These teams were then accommodated in two spacious rooms, with ten teams in each room, setting the stage for a collaborative learning experience.

To start their adventure with RC planes, each team got a kit that had all the stuff they needed: Coroplast material, electronic parts, and a checklist to make sure they didn't miss anything. The students got to know what each thing in the kit was for, making sure they were all on the same page before they started building their planes. It was a hands-on and exciting way to begin the workshop!



After a lively morning filled with interesting talks and fun activities that got everyone excited, the lunch break was a much-needed breather. It gave the students a chance to recharge both their bodies and minds. They enjoyed a hearty meal. It prepared them for the exciting challenges coming up in the afternoon. Besides filling their stomachs, this break was like a mental timeout, allowing students to think about what they'd learned so far and get ready for the hands-on part of building their RC planes in the next session.



A Hands-On Journey into RC Plane Construction


As the sun started to set, casting a warm glow all around the workshop area, the afternoon session marked a big turning point in the RC plane workshop. It was the moment the students had been eagerly waiting for, where all the talk turned into action, and their dreams started taking shape as real RC planes.


With the help of our expert trainers, each student team got down to work, ready to dive into the fascinating process of building an RC plane from the ground up. The workspace was buzzing with focused excitement as teams unpacked their materials, tools, and a shared determination to create something amazing.


Students started by carefully crafting the wings, making sure they were just right for flying. Nearby, they were putting together the main body and tail section, which were essential for making the plane stable and easy to maneuver. This hands-on experience was truly special, with students from different backgrounds working together smoothly, solving problems, and learning together, all with the guidance of their trainers.


As the afternoon went on, you could feel a sense of achievement in the air. The workshop attendees could see their dreams become real as the skeleton of their RC planes took shape.
