Topic and Goals

I have picked my topic, which will be to create a remote control plane. I have my materials set out. I will have to go to the library, or find someone who is an expert with electronics, or designing. I have not yet determined who my supervisor will be yet, but I am thinking of a couple of people who can suit the role. Over the next few weeks, I will need to get more information about my topic, and try to collect some of my materials. I did have trouble coming up with an idea for my project, but I just thought about something that iterests me that I have not tried yet. Tomorrow, I will have to pick a supervisor, then I will talk to him/her about the project to get some ideas on further designs, and information on how to build my RC plane. Then, I will need to hand in my Topic Notification Form into Mrs.Craig. Once I do this, I can go on to the next stage of designing, and reasearching about my topic. I have already handed in my Signed Parent Form.
