The complete list of components required is available in the supplies block. These are easily available from a nearby shop or you can order online. As structural support we have used two rings the red one 60mm, 40mm the blue one, and 19SWG (standard wire gauge). See the image above.

Tinker Cad Drawing

The 3-D drawing of the 'solocopter' has been designed in the Tinker Cad to fulfill the requirement of the contest.

Please see the above drawing.

Fixing Components

We have to put the small blue ring over the big red ring using the copper wire as support. Fix each supporting wire at an angular gap of 120 degrees using glue as adhesive. Now get any useless pen and fix motor into it.

We have used a 615 model magnetic motor to generate thrust to go up. Here are its specifications. Above image of solocopter structure and motor's image.

Once you fixed everything in its place it's time to fly. Get a battery or power bank the solocopter should fly upwards. If it moves here and there then use silicon glue to balance.
