This is a relatively cheap flying wing. Here's a video of the thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fobVLS_YV7w The "fuselage" (central part of the wing) is made of two symmetric parts and is supposed to be 3D printed out of PLA. The two halves should be glued with CA glue. The top cover can be used with a latch mechanism or simply stuck down with tape. The wings themselves are supposed to be hot wire cut out of 50mm thick extruded styrofoam (XPS) and covered with tape. The spars are 6mm square pine/balsa wood strips. The fins are made of 12mm extruded polystyrene sheet. Requires A2212 or equivalent motor, 2 servomotors (5g/9g) and 200g-250g of batteries. Servos should be placed near the middle of the elevons.
