@arun p vijayan,

Nice to see experimentation like this.

We have a real master of ultra light micros right here on this forum.

See this for inspiration:

Hi,
have you designed your own planes (with your calculations) or exported design files...
I have tried to design my plane using the formula from this video(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVN0yiieemM&pp=ygUfcmMgYWlycGxhbmUgZGVzaWduIGNhbGN1bGF0aW9ucw%3D%3D) but haven't succeeded yet.
just wanted to know your opinion...

Regards,
Mihir

That is a pretty good tutorial. Should work if you meticulously follow those steps. Start with a trainer design and use biofoam to build. Test it out and gain experience. Good luck
