Hello ,
I am new in RC plane hobby .
As starter aircraft I have designed using A2212 1000 KV BLDC,
11.v 2200 mAH battery with sG90 servo for rudder and elivator( I choose not to have ailerons as I am beginner and it's hard to learn with 3 controllers + Thrust)
Now I could not find better matrial to design aircraft as in local market best I could get is cloroplast so I choose 5 mm sheet of it During first few flights , my propeller broke and aircraft look lil heavy ( CG is balanced at airfoil peak) and Airfoil designed using wooden stick .wing length is 80 CM .
My question are
1. is battery I am using too heavy (180 g approx)
2. Which material I can use that is available easily in India ?

Please suggest

If you design the plane properly then it should not be an issue,i flew a 1.3kg plane with the same setup a few years ago

very important point ::: search and read old threads on the topic and i would recommend you to make the plane under 0.5-0.7kg

Hi,
1-----You must have dihedral/polyhedral/aileron for stability
2-----CG should be balanced at 25%-33% from the leading edge
3-----Do not design your first plane on your own,download any plan(flite test plans are recommended) and make it out of depron/coro

best of luck,message to clear any other doubts
