what is the budget?  Are you interested in building/experimenting or in flying? If you spend a little more, find an inexpensive ARF (has all the foam precut, molded, gear wire, wheels, sometimes comes with a brushed motor, etc..)

something like this with a factory installed motor?

i want to build and experiment..... so everything.... is gonna be self build ....
i have some questions .....
1. for a 60cm fuselage what should be the wing lenght??? what should be rudder and elevator size...?
2. where should the landing gear be place... in respect to the cg....? in a taildragger type plane....
i have all the electronics lying around.. bldc's esc's etc....
what would be the  cost to build this plane then.....?

1:1 is good for beginners. Hot glue gun is good, but don't apply too much as its heavy.
It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law.

you can also use foam safe CA, but it is expensive

again thnxx for d reply......  :)
what do u mean by 1:1 .....?
i started makin my fuselage.....
how sud i make d airfoil any methods......?
:help:

1:1 means , that the thurst of the motor and the weight of your plane should be same
like if the thrust is 400 , the wt of plane also 400      400:400= 1:1 ratio.

hope its cleared ?

sry my questions may seem silly m a beginner so please dont mind.....

I would recommend you to build any kind of trainer models first of about 50" span... will be easy to learn and make...
Search on electric planes section and scratch build section to find lot of build threads ...
