Build Materials
3/16th or 1/4 inch Foamboard for the fuselage, wings and tail. I highly
reccomend using foamboard from the Dollar Tree stores as it’s 1/2 the weight
of other foam board and just about as strong. About 3, 20 X 30 inch sheets of board are needed.
The company that makes this foam board is http://www.adamsplasticsinc.com/
1/16 galvanized steel on a roll (from a hardware store) or RC pushrods, about 14 inches are needed OR you can use RC pushrods if you have them.
Hot glue(prefered) or 5 min epoxy.
Thick packing tape for control surface hinges and wing stiffening.
About 40 inches of 5/16 inch diameter wooden dowel for the wing spar.
6 regular size popsicle sticks.
About 6 tounge depressors.
You may need to add 50-70 grams to the nose to balance with 1800mah battery for the Eclipse 400.
