Hello,

I am new in the forum (just a month); I was reading a lot of post because I am thinking in build an airplane, but I do not decide which one by the moment.
I pretend a simple and chep ultralight, the most simple of all, but is difficult to decide. I jump from the SkyPup to some of Beaujon models, there are a lot of models I can not chose because are based on aluminium 6061 T6, and it do not exist in my country, so just wood or composite ones.

My question is simple, If I choose a model x, can I build a scaled model to validate it? If yes, which is the minimun scale to use?, what about weight, dimensions, etc?... I think this is a problem of "model theory", may be it could be to difficult to acomplish, may be not.

By the moment that's all.

thank you, and best regards.
