Default Four new fanfold indoor flyers

I brought four new designs to try out. Imagine my suprise when all of them flew. All were built with hotglue and split down Dow Bluecore fanfold foam (F3). The material is hot wire slpit widthwise down to about 1/8th inch.

The video above is of the triplane. I like Greg's name for it, so it will be called the Titanic.

It is 45" span with 8.2 sq ft of wing. It weighs in at about 9 oz. Wing loading is 1.2 oz/sq ft. It was slow. IPS "C" drive and 1020 lipoly. I flew well right off.
