Research and Plan

I have done some research on my topic, and I used three different media to research on my topic.
Some of the Research which I have done is:

You must Build it Straight.
Use right type of Apoxy Glue.
Find the Center of Gravity of Plane.
Purchase seperate kit with parts.
Get large, flat building space.
Read Instructions.
Paint Plane Last.
Build with wood, and start out with wings and work your way to center of Plane.
Draw plan of Plane First.
Make Plane symetrical on both sides to give it ballance.
Get a 4 channel radio transmitter and reciever.
Get a wrench, screwdriver, modeling knife, drill, tape, sandpaper, pencils and wire cutters.
For the rest, just get someone who knows about electrical wires to help, and put the pieces of the plane which you built together while following the instructions that come with your store bought kit.

To make movie of instructuions with plane I will use:

IMovie HD to:

Get certain clips which I record, and put them together.
Control lenght of Video, and add effects to make it more interesting, as well as music, and my talking to explain the instructions. I can use diagrams too. I will appear in the video too.

Mind Map:

1.) Techniques Chosen: I will buy the kit, and follow its instructions, and my Research to make the RC Plane, then I will carefully follow my goals set, and finally be able to put a movie together with IMovie HD, and IMovie HD help when needed. I can also get help from experts, and obnly do part by part, instead of blowing it all off on the last day, but work on it during the week, and maybe start a little bit early.
2.) Creation of Product: I will buy the parts from a kit, and follow the Research which I did to make sure that I am doing everything right, and finding things, such as the Center of Gravity for best flight, wiring, etc.
3.) Support and Development of AOI Focus: I can get some help from experts, as well as research alot about my topic, and when I am done, I will share the knowlege which people have taught me to others to pass it on. My AOI is Approachs to Learning.

I am now ready for my next meeting with my supervisor on March 8th, 2011.
