Hello All,
My name is Cody H. and this is my first post. I am currently a senior in HighSchool and for my senior project I am designing a primary glider. I am building a 1/8 scale model and hope to build a full size glider in the next few years.

I need this glider to be able to lift 300 lbs. I am going to use the Clark Y as my airfoil but I dont know how to find the amt. it can carry depending on its area. Is there a website out there showing how to calculate wing lift?

Any help of tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks very much,
Cody
