Cardboard Rc Planes
i heard of a guy who used to be able to get 2 40 sized planes from a kit.. 1 from the wood and 1 from the box.. about one of them he mentioned that the carboard version flew better. haha
i forgot what his name was though.
he also liked to build flying lawnmowers from blue foam.

FLYIN RC,
I can't help but notice you solicited for crashed airframes as well as show interest in cardboard planes. I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but this leads me to think you are looking for a low cost way to get into R/C. If this is the case, check out http://www.spadtothebone.com
I've been building great flyers, tough as nails, only an afternoon of building...for about $5-$10 an airframe for several years now.

I get it from a local sign shop, and I also am not ashamed to dumpster dive the local gas stations
There are also some on line suppliers listed here:

All the plans are on the spad website. Also don't miss the hints tips and supplies page, lots of good information there. Our plans are pretty basic airplanes, but some guys just can't leave well enough alone...whatever you do, don't miss the showcase...it's mind blowing what guys are building from a few bucks worth of plastic!
