Pls show that thing to someone with experience
before you sit in it and hurt yourself .


As it is the Samurai engine will barely get you moving .

Well done !!

However - refer to the other thread - 40 kg rc model with
175cc engine - that is the kind of power to weight ratio you will require

for your craft to have any chance you will require at least a 500 cc lightweight engine

for it to have adequate safety margin double the capacity .

Get in touch with Mr. Kanak Gogoi from Guwahati, Assam. He has some practical experience in designing crafts such as this. He could guide you.

You are testing that inside a temple!?
I have my apprehensions about the craft, but I'm no expert.
Nice effort tho. You can try DIY go-kart or atv if this fails.

However the video was posted 8 months ago as per youtube, wonder whats the status now?

Pardon me if I seem stupid, but wouldn't an Ultralight Aircraft need a wing?
