My name is Merlin, i'm 32 and currently designing my first airplane, it is inspired by Milholland's Leagle Eagle but in two seat version.
the idea is to build an airplane for under $3k that won't take me years to finish, it should take around 6 months to build.
I have already completed the welded chassis in SolidWorks and made sure there were no weak points, however i'm having problems chosing the proper wing spars.
Simulation of wood or carbon fiber on Solidworks is neither easy nor particularly accurate considering the properties of the material. Aluminium strenght to weight ratio doesn't seem ideal.
I'm a bit stuck at the time and i would appreciate some advices.
thank you
