R/C Plane Design Calculation: Horizontal & Vertical Tail Sizing

This document summarizes the design of an RC plane, including its overall weight, stalling speed, service ceiling, temperatures and densities at that ceiling, airfoil properties, wing design, fuselage length, horizontal and vertical tail sizing, aerodynamic design values like cruising speed and Reynolds number, and calculated drag coefficients. Key specifications include a 1200g overall weight, 40mph stalling speed, 500m service ceiling, 16m wing span, and 45kmph cruising speed. Performance is also evaluated through lift to drag ratios.
