Hi buddy the Backyard flyer of Jean Smith was a great design i wont recommend welding Aluminum. But the design was awesome. Something i want to ask why did he attach his Ailerons lower on the Wing. He said it was to do with landing it slower the airplane down. I cant remember if that is what the lower Ailerons do. I would be glad if you can help me here thank you.
The reason a high aspect ratio wing is bad at rolling is because the relative wind causes the upward-travelling wingtip to produce downward lift and the downward-travelling wingtip to produce upward lift. The problem scales with wingspan/airspeed. That's why little R/C airplanes, even ones that look like gliders, can snap roll as fast as an F-16.
The wing surface area is dependent on the planform (the shape of the wing as viewed from above). The airfoil has no bearing on surface area. But the airfoil does affect the wetted area which you need when you calculate the drag. Although I should say the thickness of the airfoil has more effect on the wetted area than any other aspect of the airfoil shape. You can get a reference surface area with the equation S=b*c where 'b' is the wing span and 'c' is the average wing chord (note that this does not take into account the shape of the wing tip which may reduce the surface area slightly). I hope this helps.
It may be possible. But it will be a challenge. Off the top of my head I'd say that something configured like the Phantom Ultralight may work. Put the pilot near the 25% Chord (this will reduce fuselage size, reducing weight), design to "Standard" category (+3.8 gs). May want to look at some constructions techniques from the Belite Chipper SS (part 103). The plane I'm designing is definitely NOT the inexpensive way to go. If you have a design in the works I love to hear about it.
@@Designer103 actually, I emailed you the rough design about an hour ago to the email listed in your "about" section :3 it's crude, but I have somewhat limited time off in which to work on it
Tucker gott on UA-cam recently bought a wing with 400 lbs carrying capacity . You won't get the fun of making a plane but if you weigh 300 and you won't change that then maybe you want a paramotor

Can you please explain how did you figure out the area? I'm confused how to figure out the area of a wing without selecting the airfoil

Hello, how may I contact you without paying a membership? Thank You, Trent
Go to the "About" page for the channel. At the bottom of that is a section that will lead you to my email address.
my goal is to lift a 300lbs pilot with a FAR part 103 ultralight SAFELY and inexpensively...

I'll take a look at it.
