Constructed mainly from the same 10mm Polystyrene panels (similar to packaging foam) and a dowel to brace the wing. After having loads of fun with the BFU,
I decided to build something with better gliding ability but still cheap and light. So hear it is… with a wingspan of about 46" (1175mm) and 500 square inches of wing area.
My proposed AUW is 800g including 2200 3S lipo and a ±100g 1000kv outrunner.
I started the project by scaling the official dimensions from the FAI for their scale aerobatic F3M Edge 540 to suit a plane of ±800g, then tweaked it for my own needs.

In this video, we are going to make a cardboard airplane (glider) properly, we are going to use techniques used in RC airplanes builds but using cardboard
