Spent about 3 days in total building this beauty out of depron using only hotglue, simply because I find epoxy hard to work with....plus it smells bad...and as you can see, My working room is just too clean 
So I did a maiden flight with elevator and aileron only and found that in my flying field, the Rudders are NEEDED, just because the plane gets stuck on the turns too often and I need something to kick that tail around.....but otherwise, had plenty of power with a Turnigy 2218H-2100Kv motor and a 6x5.5 prop with a 50A ESC, I might step it down to 6x4 or 6x5 to get a longer flight time out of it.
So after a somewhat successful maiden flight (meaning it came back in more less one piece) I decided to give it a paint job, and I dont know what other people think, but to me, it seems nice considering this is the first time I painted a Plane and Im only 15
I'll install rudders on it when I finally finish my exams and Video the flight
Some more detailed specs:
Motor: Turnigy H2218-2100kv (very similar to the motor Josh Bixler had on the HobbyKing Fox and the first attempt of the breaking-glass plane, just a bit faster, 2100Kv instead of 1860Kv,500W on 4s , around 400 on 3s)
ESC: Pelikan 50A ESC (a european Rc brand)
Servos: One team 13g MG micro servos (Pelikan again, I live in Poland)
Battery: Turnigy blue 2200mAh, 25C, 3s lipo
AUW: more less 800g when I'll add rudders
Thrust: around 900+ with a 6x5.5 APC prop
Airfoil: Kfm2 airfoil
Foam: 6mm Depron
Glue: Hotglue all around
Paint: some random Foam-safe spray paint
Will be posting flight video with rudders soon!
