Plans for the coroplast and fan fold foam are below. Build video hopefully later today.
Enjoy your building.
The airframe cut from fan fold or other light stiff material. Click for larger version.
The vertical stab template, make 2. Click to get larger image.
The coroplast deck where all all the electronics are mounted. Click on for larger version.
This photo shows the alignment of components on the coroplast deck. Note the taping down of the wiring to the servo motors. Further, the speed controller is cable tied to the deck in a front to back orientation. This keeps the speed controller stable during rough nose landings. The receiver is mounted with the thinner part of the receiver towards the front of the deck to allow the cable tie to hold the receiver in during rough landings.

My Portuguese is pretty bad (I think it is Portugese). I can help more if you ask in English.

Hey,
What kind ov motor is this?Is it that motor which rotates and is normally present in the toy cars to rotate the wheels.Secondly,how much voltage does this motor require?Would the 12volt battery would be enough to spin it.
Looking forward for your co-operation and quick reply too

There is a parts list in the instructions. We use a brushless outrunner that generates around 16 oz of thrust
with a 10 4 prop.

If find something else to use then let us know.

Im having trouble finding the 1/4 foam for the airframe and vertical stabilizers. will 1/2 in styrofoam serve as a decent replacement?

I have made them out of pink fan fold that is around 1/2″ thick, they fly ok. You will have to experiment. Towels have been
made out of cardboard, coroplast, foam core mounting board. Best though is the 1/4″ fan fold.

Hi, i just saw yr both at the NY makers fair. totally awesome!!! i am going to embark on building one. i was wondering if you have ever tried converting a cheap harbor fright RC plane kit to fit one of you truly awesome designs. some of them sell very cheap complete with a controller and arrive very quickly. i would love to talk more about this. Cheers and keep up the good work!!!
Thanks

I found this plane

The transmitter does not look like it has elevon mixing so you would need an on board mixer. The motor looks
pretty small as well. perhaps a 24″ wing span plane?

I think i jumped the gun. after further research on your site it seems very obvious to me to use your parts list from hobby king. thanks

If money is a concern then the parts list is what you want. Just be careful about the HKT6a v2 radio is a hassle to program.

would this work if it was made to look like the paper aeroplanes people make as kids?

Sounds like a fun project. Just fold the fan fold to be the shape you want. Would probably fly pretty well.
