hi sahil, at first i had serious orientation problems. If i get inverted and fly too low, i often pull up the elevator and hit it directly to the ground. i painted the bottom part red so tat i can find out whether i am in normal or inverted. Then i tried on fly by nose method, which improved my skills very much. had lots of practice in sim and got confidence. still practicing on elvon mixing(am also a beg only :))

regarding the plans, i didnt go for a serious calculations or anything. all i kept in mind was to keep the weight less, optimum thrust and big wing area (so tat i can glide and rectify my mistake in control, else i may hit it). i will create a plan for this model and post it soon. pls note elvon mixing is not suitable for beg. instead one can try for a elevator and rudder type control.
