thingiverse

This is a miniature version of the Brooklyn Aerodrome Towel Airplane, which can be made for around $20 if you exclude the electronic components. To purchase these parts, you may refer to the sources http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:113499 and http://makezine.com/projects/make-30/the-towel-rc-stunt-plane/. The Bill of Materials (BOM) includes a brushless motor like the AT2206 at about $20, a 10A Brushless Controller for approximately $6, two microservos priced at $4, a battery costing around $10, and a receiver worth around $20. For hardware, you need an A2 Drawing Box as the airframe, stabilizers, and deck which costs about $5 (http://is.gd/sVkGGA). Additionally, you'll require a PVC plate for the deck at around $10, an 8"x5" pusher prop costing between $5 to $10, and printed parts made of ABS.
