Default new home built plane

well i got bored so i decided to take some pieces of card board and try to make another park flyer base on the slow stick fuse, just cut a little shorter. im just gonna take the standard gws equipment but make it 4 channel with ailerons, if its too heavy ill take the rudder out of it. it will have about a 35-40 inch wingspan and about 10 inch chord. im gonna put huge controll surfaces on it so itll be aerobatic. ill try to get some pics of it and post results of flight as soon as i get a new crystal for my Rx.

You may find that cardboard is a bit heavy and flexable for airplane construction, but it never hurts to experiment.
