I had ask about coroplast control line airplanes a week or so ago. I build by own design it is some soroplast and some wood. The plane is 36-inch wingspan it is o flat 4MM coroplast for the wing the rudder is also 4MM along with the stabilizer and elevator. I didn’t know how well it would fly, but I was surprised. It flies very nice with an old McCoy .35 engine running at about 9,500 rpm with a 10/6 propeller. It has 4-inch plastic wheels made from PVC 4’ Test Caps it takes off from3” grass in about 10’ or less it flies very stable. My first flight was in 15 mph wind and it flew great.

I don’t think it would do a lot of stunts as set up, but with more power it will do most stunts. I was amazed at how well it flew it’s easy to control yet very responsive. Of course I am bias as the designer but for a plane that a child could build in an hour or two for less than $5.00 I don’t know why more people aren’t building coroplast planes for beginners. These planes are almost indestructible, easy to build, easy to fly, and very cheap to build.

This was my first one but I already know a few things I am going to change to make it easier to build and faster to build. The next one may have an airfoil to it
