An Ultralight fixed-wing autonomous UAV. It is designed to be a flying wing with a single pusher propeller at the back. The airframe is made of XPS foamboard for lightweight-ness. I plan to eventually fly it with a sidestick..
Why? It all started with this video by rctestflight, I think. I was fascinated by the idea of a fixed-wing flying objects that and the pictures it captured. I wanted to build something like that, but I wanted it to be ultralight and autonomous. So I started researching on the different types of drones and decided what I want to build. I wanted to start a YSWS with this too (#firefly plug) that is basically this. I am happy I am able to get this far with it.

Price Increases in the above table refer to the increase in price due to a sale ending in Banggoods (Hobby days), from where I am sourcing some parts, this is to offset that cost. Misc. refers to other stuff I may need during the build, Plastic Glue, shipping costs to mohid to ship a few things etc..
