Starting a new scratch build project of the HAL Tejas using a 30mm EDF setup.

This is a compact 16-inch wingspan micro EDF model built mainly from 3mm Depron with a focus on keeping weight low while maintaining the iconic Tejas shape. Current AUW is around 185g, powered by a QX 30mm EDF (14000KV) on 2S LiPo.

Yes, I'm using a BYME-D for stabilization.
