hello guys,

I have been thinking of making a project for a while... my goals are to build an aircraft that is light, simple, and can be disassembled for transportation.

Structure will be made of aluminum T6, the main concern is regarding the wing (structure, and material), but I think first I have to confirm the planform shape of the whole aircraft.

I weigh around 70Kg ( roughly 140lb) and I would say 100Kg (220lb) for the aircraft... I don't know if that is a good guess though! I need your help in this so I can chose an airfoil and to find the appropriate HP required.

So I've searched the net for ideas and here is my plan, let me know what you think.

sorry, forgot to mention that dimensions are in centimeters.
