    Hello! I'm new to HBA!

    Hello! I'm new to HBA!

    Hi! Thanks a lot this was a very big help for me. But frankly, not enough. I do not know how to find out how much lift I need or anything of the sort. I'm not even sure if my design is capable of flight. Would posting a design help? http://www.electraflyer.com/forms/electraflyer_brochure.pdf...

    Hello! I'm new to HBA!

    It is the Engine, but still I would rather design my own, because I would like to create something different, something unique. And yeah, it's true, planes only produce around 0.05 percent of greenhouse gases or something like that, but I love planes. I don't want them to be something that...

    Hello! I'm new to HBA!

    Hello! Ever since I was 3 years old, I loved airplanes. I always loved looking up at the sky and watching as airplanes flew by (Yes I am aware of that rhyme;)). In fact, I loved airplanes so much that I was basically the "Plane Guy" of my school. One day we had to choose a topic for a class...
