Material is thermocol...... Which is easily available at stationery shops..... I will give one coating of fevicol....... And another layer of newspaper applied with fevicol and water solution(50:50) to strengthen it.
Then I will  add carbon
As per size..... It's wing span is 30".... Most of the size measurements are same as taken in the video  :)
Root chord is 11
Tip chord 9(including 2" of eleven.)
Sweep is 9.

Quick tip.  YOU CAN USE TOOTH PICKS with fevicol/hot glue  while joining 2 layers of THERMOCOL
Just apply glue/fevicol on tooth pick and pass through 2layers kept one on other(specially  useful in case of making kf2/KF3 airfoils.

Yes !! A little bit. :)
i will share it when i reach home :D

Joined the elevons with tape.......
Applied tape in lower surface.....
(Made a simple motor mount with ice cream sticks....Double layer of ice cream(One horizontal and one vertical) stick sticked with fevicol/fevi stick/ca, applied tape on it, and passed it through fire). Its light and yet strong.....WIll make holes through it. :)

Will be using https://www.sparkpcb.com/robotics/dys-brushless-dc-motor-1400-kv-for-quadcopters-or-multirotors.html .......

See the image for reference,
You would see sticks laid in two patterns horizontal and vertical,  apply fevicol/feviquik/ca/ between the edges.

Let it rest for some time. Then cut a square out of them(using simple blade or balsa cutter)  .  Then take the two pieces,  and apply fevicol/ca/whatever between them and place them, one over another(one should have horizontal pattern and place it on another which is kept in vertical pattern).This will add to its strength....
Let it rest.  Then tape it.  Then heat it a little bit so that it sticks tightly.  And you will get a light yet strong motor mount.  Draw holes through the mount and use it accordingly.

I would suggest to start with a more beginner friendly model, or the brooklyn aerodrome towel if you want a delta wing type plane to start out with :hatsoff:
Build planes like feathers rather than tanks, both handle bullets equally well.

Sukhpreet

Yes........!!!  You are right bro.  Rather i should have gone for basic 3 channel electric  trainer(throttle rudder  and elevator :)  ) ..... But i was mesmerized by wings..... :p that i just forgot the rights and wrongs for beginners......

I know it will be very tough playing around with elevons.......

In my view a well balanced wing is much easier to learn and fly.
Best part is very easy to make.

Sukhpreet

Sweet words........... (:|~
Was eager to hear these consoling words.......... 8-)

Any advice or suggestion for its looks.......  ;D i mean the color schemes, paints or decals.
