Can Hobbyists Design Safe Aircraft with Online Forum Advice?

[yavorh]

Hey guys... So new member here. Stumbled upon this forum since in my endavours to calculate some necessary data for the aircraft I am making, I realized that the internet can full of misleading info!

So here I am, to explore the depths of human knowledge, and maybe make some friends round the way

Thanks!

Already looking at the newster for "Fascinating science discussions last week", I can see I will enjoy my stay here

Welcome to the PF.

If it's for an aircraft that people will be flying in, we may be of limited help. Such calculations should be done by a professional engineer in person that you consult with. If it's a model aircraft or RC aircraft, we probably can be of help in the ME/Aero forum.

Hey there.

Nah, the aerodynamics part has been covered to a good degree, I'm more baffled by a few formulas in regards to electric motors. I've posted my problem in this thread:
