Franken FT 3D The Maiden

Well I was bored looked in the Plane graveyard and scavanged servos, depron, plastic card,esc 30amp.

The depron was to small so I glued it together to make 1 large sheet, Plastic card was used for the Wings heaps stronger than Depron too.

 

Silver Duct/cloth tape to help strengthen Fuselarge 

The Plastic card was extremely hard to work with but really light and strong


 Really would love to have Dolla tree foam in Australia

I believe this will get a coat of paint Ailerons need more throw but good enough for now

Awesome, I've always wondered how that plastic card would go. I've been building a few different rc planes from 'foam core' which is similar to dollar tree. It's just a bit heavier and has a gloss paper but not to bad. Its 5mm thick and is available in Australia for a reasonable price. I've built the Bloody Wonder with the air foil and I am in the process of building the SE5A. Here is the link. http://www.cavalierart.com.au/catalog/boards-and-cards/foam-core/foam-core-board-white
