I found Blue foam board at a local DIY market (GAMMA). This foam is used for sound reduction for a laminated floor. Very cheap foam, its for the budget builders.

Using only Google SketchUp I designed a whole RC 3D air-plane and it cost me very little!

All designs are created in Google SketchUp. You can download Google SketchUp for free from here

IMPORTANT: On plans foam is not always 6MM thick.

You can see here it's maiden (first ever) flight. For a design I created in Google Sketchup the model flies VERY well, I did notice the wings flex too much so I added 3M Scotch filament tape which fixed the problem.

Used to build this model:

[*] Blue foam board xps, bought at the DIY market (GAMMA).

[*] 4 servos hobbyking 5grams HXT500

[*] 1 ESC Himodel

[*] 1 outrunner motor Himodel 2000 RPM/V

[*] 1 prop 6x4 (Hobbyking)

[*] Hot-glue and epoxy glue.

[*] 3M Scotch filament tape for reinforcement.

This model is a very cheap build and easy to get flying, Enjoy!

It's smaller brother

A scaled down version design for learning to fly. Super little model:

The maiden flight of the model was not as good as it's big brother model, it did fly (quite well) but after a small crash the motor mount came lose. I only need to use a stronger glue to fix the model.
