well, lets get some ideas of what you are looking for.

First off, Electric or Glow preference?
then, What equipment, if any, do you already have?
and, What is your skill at flying? Are you looking for a training plane.

That should get us in the ball park of giving you what would be good for you.

i have an 049 glow engine to use, lots of cardboard and it is going to be my first plane that I have built. [8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:'(][:'(][:'(][:'(]

What you need to do is look around for SPAD sites and projects. Corrugated plastic and corrugated cardboard work the same way but with the cardboard you need to coat the paper to prevent the oil making it into a mess. There's TONS of SPAD (stands for Simple Plastic Airplane Design) stuff around. Use the RCU search feature and also do a Google search on it.

But most of the time the designs won't be good for an 049. They just build up too heavy to work well for that.

This is the first model you have built but is it also the first model you'll be flying? Or have you gone through some training already?

to tell the truth I haven't had any training except for an electric plane i found at k mart and is still to this day up way in a tree
