Soo for starting , why do i wanna build this? Cause anything that flies is cool!

Here goes my idea for a RC airplane,

now you can't just make anything and hope that it would fly so I had to look into airplanes, how do they work?
Answer is through air! Duhh
Engines create thrust to move the plane forward, while wings create lower pressure on top and higher pressure below, creating lift. The four forces—lift, weight (gravity), thrust, and drag—must be balanced to maintain flight! Sounds sciency but it isn't

Now you need to know what airfoil is, it is the shape of the wings which helps it fly ( cant oversimplify that )
How does it work? It creates a low pressure area above and high pressure area below and boom! It lifts

After looking into MANY ( and i mean many airfoils! I decided to go with Clark Y . why do you may ask?
Cause it's the most beginner friendly and easy!

That's all for now , time for some more research!

So this is an overview of all the parts required for this

1. A transmitter and receiver ( kinda obvious but these are two communicate signals to the plane )
2. Servos, for controlling the wings of the plane
3. Motors and propellers for the thrust
4. Now you can't having the motors run at 100% always so an ESC for the motors
5. Lastly the battery , you need a battery to power everything but it can't be too small that the plane won't fly and can't be too heavy so that plane doesn't turn into a brick

From the list of components , I will be making my own transmitter and receiver and the body of the plane!
PS : this is a cool transmitter I found so I will be trying to recreate this
