Propeller
Carbon rod
Micro tx and Rx
Linear servo or coil servo
Misc
Pliers
Wire

Step 2: Making Paper Plane
Fold an a4 sheet into half from the longer side
Fold the top corners so that they touch the center crease
Now repeat the second step
Fold the top tip about 2 inches
Fold the whole paper along the longer side
Fold the wings and it is done
Step 3: Making the Frame With Electronics
Take about the length of the carbon rod and mount a pager motor with superglue at the tip of the rod.
Attach pieces of velcro on the rod to mount it on a paper airplane. Stick the other side of the velcro on the surface of a paper airplane.
Step 4: Adding Details.
You can decorate your plane and add details. The photo shows the velcro mounted on the RC paper plane's surface. In this way, the electronics can be easily mounted on another plane.
Step 5: Adding Receiver, Battery and Servo
Use a lightweight linear servo or magnetic servo for the rudder action. Cut a rectangle piece of foam or light wood and make it the vertical stabilizer or rudder. Connect the servo to the receiver by soldering. Also, mount the receiver with double-sided adhesive tape. Solder the connector for the battery on to the receiver. Charge the lipo battery using a separate charger. Now mount the whole structure on to the paper plane via velcro. Plug in the battery and it is ready to fly.
