@AviownCorp :)

@Nickasaurus let's see

@AviownCorp ok man. GL

@Nickasaurus I have planned to mail some snapshots of my models to the air defense authority. Don't know whether it will work or not.

@AviownCorp hmm...
dunno what to tell you buddy. i know forward swept wings wouldn't work
could you go to a company like lockheed or something? they might buy you ideas. that or patent it and sell the patent.

@Nickasaurus I think I should design few planes and show them to defense authority. But I am afraid that they would steal my idea and give me not a single penny.

@AviownCorp thats still leaving.

@Nickasaurus I am not leaving actually, just stopped building new planes my friend!

@AviownCorp Bottom line, i just hope you stay man. i know ive left but you leaving too would break my heart. your very talented at what you do. just work hard, strive for opportunities and take your dreams to new heights (puntended)

@Squirrel i too built a computer around 13 i think. and i get the point of learning the parts for yourself. luckily with planes it seems switching out parts is a bit easier then switching out parts on a computer. (well... one that was bought and not made. cramming in a new part on a custom PC is easy af) And by that i mean finding parts, not necessarily taking apart an entire plane XD. Also i try and keep things very direct but still with a lightness to them.

I know you aren't always accepted amongst 'us' but i haven't seen much bad come from you. although i don't want to say much else here ;).

@Squirrel I have uploaded another prototype unlisted. Please check it

@Nickasaurus Perhaps he wants the experience of building something custom. I build my own computer when I was an early teenager on the premise I could upgrade it with what I wanted and to get the experience of learning how all the parts interacted. Perhaps @AviownCorp wants to do something similar, maybe he wants to get his son involved too(?) I don't know. Besides, 10 grand is a lot to send in one go. Sure he could spend time saving up, but by then he might as well have built his own aircraft. It also looks like he wants to build an electric one rather than a fuel powered one, so kits and pre-made ones will be very hard to come by and will likely to be more expensive again.

Also, sorry if you felt my last comment was an insult, that wasn't how I intended it to come across. When I type things, I tend to explain them in a way where everyone can understand my perspective, so they can join in without having gaps in the knowledge of the subject that's being talked about.

@Squirrel regarding my link, yeah I know that. I'm not an idiot. He wants a plane for transport. So why not use that plane for transport? You don't have to build a computer if you find a nice cheap computer that's just as good or does the job you need.

@Squirrel gears to increase rpm only

@AviownCorp Like I say, I know nothing about motorcycles... However, a quick google image search shows these. Again, you shouldn't be using gears on an engine unless you're just using it to step down power from an engine. To control speed, you must only use the throttle (assuming the prop is fixed). Gears add unneeded complexity, inefficiency and can lead to maintenance problems later on.

@Solarisaircraft I am thinking about 2000 USD

@Squirrel what kind of gear used in motorcycle?

Has anyone considered the possibility of a kit plane? They are safe, fun, do not require much technical skills, and all you really need is about $15,000 (Which is kinda expensive), and a pilot"s license.

@AviownCorp How would you go about covering the ribs in aluminium?And you can't add gears to increase power as such. If you use step down gears, you decrease the speed of the prop, but increase the torque. Similarly, step up gears decrease torque, but increase speed.
.
If you want to go all electric, it MIGHT be worth waiting it out a little bit. Mainly because battery technology is advancing, and carbon nanotube batteries/supercapacitors are ever so slowly coming into existence. They offer a massive advantage over Lithium Ion batteries as they are should charge up in a few seconds (maybe minutes depending on capacity) as they should be capacitors and not traditional batteries, but they can store more electricity in a similar sized unit. I think it would be a lot lighter too. But, I'm not sure when that kind of tech is coming out. Perhaps it could be an upgrade plan for you.
.
One thing to bare in mind is that batteries are quite heavy. I have a 22,400 mAh battery and it probably weighs about the same as half a brick and is about the size of half a brick. Scaled up (you'd need a lot of mAh to get a decent flight in) you're probably looking at something that's quite heavy. I could be wrong, my power bank could be heavy for other reasons, however, it might be worth bearing in mind. That said, a motor is lighter than an engine, so that might compensate.
.
Also, back on the topic of electric motors and controlling speed; you could probably get away with something similar to a variable resistor to control the RPM of the motor, which you could then link directly to the throttle stick. Alternatively, you could use a variable frequency drive unit, which I think would be more efficient as it varies the frequency of the electricity instead of resisting it, but you'd have to use an AC motor instead of DC, which means you'll need an inverter to convert the DC power from the battery into AC. However, if you did go down the route of a DC motor (which you seem more set on doing) I'd recommend a brushless motor as they have less mechanical parts (aka no carbon brushes) and thus are more efficient and reliable, more specifically, if possible a shunt wound motor. I think they're a bit harder to start but they're more robust in terms of electric loads and tend not to stall when they run into problems with physical loads which are too high. If you're after AC you have a choice of Synchronous and Induction. I'm not that well versed in those kinds of motor, so I'll let you l
