NERF

 A slightly different 3D plane designed and made by me. Span is 900mm The wings are low AR and highly tapered. It has a deep fuselage, akin to a pattern flyer. The LE of the ailerons are also tapered. Additional vertical side was added via wingtip plates and a dorsal fin. This gives the ac fantastic tracking an handling. All surfaces are made out of 9mm epp sheets, which were hotwired out of a EPP block.  It has a few CF 3x1 mm strips embedded for strength and stiffness. Additional stiffness is comes from fishing line rigging across the fuselage, wings and tail surfaces. This gives the aircraft very good stiffness without adding weight and is very strong (the fishing line is kevlar).  Electronics : 2212 1400kv motor, 9x5 prop, 30A esc, 4 x 9gm servos. Flies witha 1300/1000mah bty.. AUW 500gms.   A beautiful looking aircraft, which also flies amazingly. Even other flyers vouch that it flies better than many brought out 3D kits. Here is the plan
