Small fixed-wing airframes see gust loads that scale differently from manned aircraft. Where the standard formulations break down at this size, worked on the Applied Aeronautics Albatross.

The propulsion spreadsheet and the FEA setup use the same number differently. How to get from static thrust to the force and moment that reach the mount, worked on the Holybro 2216 920KV.

Copying a load factor from a manned aircraft spec gives you a number you can’t defend. How to derive one from descent rate and gear stiffness instead, worked on a Holybro X500 V2.

Thrust, gyroscopic moment, landing impact, and vibration all show up at the arm. A walk through which ones set the design and which you can defer, worked on a Holybro X500 V2.
