In this section we will build our own glider. Before going any further, let's see what the requirements are.
Firstly, we need to select a design for the glider. There are a number of designs you can choose. Depending on the wing shape, there are four types of gliders:
- Elliptical wing
- Rectangular wing
- Tapered wing
- Swept-forward wing
In this chapter, we are going to choose the rectangle-shaped wing. The other necessary equipment is as follows:
- Propellers

- Motors
- Battery
- ArduPilot
- Servos
- RC receiver and transmitter
- Some carbon fiber tubes
- Some steel wires
- Some nylon pushrods
