I wanna build an aircraft (approx. 50-100 gms).The Aircraft should be light but at the same time STABLE.............STABILITY is very important....

Balsa and Saran wrap. For stability, look at some other designs similar to yours. Dihedral, correct cg location and a tail configuration of conventional proportions will get you all the stability you need.

I used to make model airplanes out of balsa wood and tissue paper. They flew. I suppose you could use the same materials on a larger plane.

I have been flying since 1987 and have never seen a pair of scales at the airport. If it appears to the pilot the plane may be overloaded, he just asks, being sure to let the passengers know the importance of weight and balance. Personally, I have had to ask only once.

aluminum 2024 T-4 is the best
fiberglass and carbon fiber glues break down in sunlight
wood rots
magnesium is light but flamable
titanium is too expensive

Aluminium is best suited for making lightest aircraft

What size are we talking about? You could do that from wood, aluminum, or if you mean something big, carbon fiber (although it's expensive)...

aluminum tubing and nyon fabric should do it. it may be better to just by the kit. it will have everything you need to meet faa rules and safety requirements.
