I will build your custom uav vtol rc plane from design to flight ready


About this gig
Need an aircraft built and flight ready, not just a design file? I build custom UAVs, VTOL aircraft, and RC planes, taking your project from concept through design, assembly, and testing.
Full airframe engineering: aerodynamic layout, wing and fuselage design, structural build, component wiring, and flight controller setup, so you get an aircraft ready to fly, not just a rendered model.
What I design and build:
- RC planes: foam or composite airframes, motor and servo setup, radio binding
- Fixed-wing UAVs for mapping, surveillance, or long-endurance missions
- VTOL aircraft combining vertical takeoff with efficient forward flight
- Flight controller setup/tuning (ArduPilot, PX4, Pixhawk) for stable flight
- Transition logic and control surfaces for hybrid VTOL platforms
I use XFLR5/XFOIL for aerodynamic analysis alongside hands-on fabrication, so builds are grounded in real aerodynamics, not guesswork. Ideal for hobbyists moving up from RC planes, university projects, startups, or commercial UAV needs.
Send me your mission or use case, payload, and target range or flight time, and I'll design and build the right aircraft.

FAQ
How is this different from your other design/build/repair drone gig?
This gig is focused specifically on fixed-wing, VTOL, and RC plane engineering, from aerodynamic design through a flight-ready build. My other gig covers general drone/UAV design, build, and repair across a broader range of needs, including multirotors and quick fixes.
I'm new to RC planes. Can you build something beginner-friendly?
Yes, the Basic package covers straightforward foam or composite RC plane builds set up for a smooth first flight, with guidance included.
Can you build to a specific payload capacity for mapping or commercial use?
Yes, tell me your payload weight and type (camera, sensor, etc.) and I'll design the airframe around it.
What if I only need the design, not the physical build?
Message me before ordering; I can scope a design only package separately from the full design-and-build service, or point you to my CAD design gig.
