Default RE: Show us your scratch built foamys

Here's the only one I have so far. It's made from a Simi-air 23" N9M foam chuck glider wing. The booms, ailerons, vert & horiz stabs & elevator are made from laminated balsa sheet. The fuselage is made from a piece of styrofoam from a food shipping container. You know , the kind that perishable foods come in when shipped across country. Those containers are very good quality EPS. It's running a Feigao 12 X 30, 4200kv brushless motor with a BP 10amp ESC, 2 HS-55 servos and 1 Blue Bird 303 sub micro servo, a 4ch Blue arrow Rx powered by a 450mah 3 cell, 10c LiPo battery turning a GWS 3X2 prop. Weighs 6.8oz and is quite a blast to fly. I have another CAT project on the bench using an old sky scooter wing and similar building techniques. Both these projects were/are built using the LAR, (looks about right), method. WIll post a pic when the second one is completed and flying.
