RC Scratch Built Extra 300 Flat Foamie

A recap of the build process for making a Flat Foam Extra 300. The shape was created from a crashed plane that I had built from a kit and blended with plans I found on the internet. I changed the scale so the new plane has a 37 inch fuselage. I made the template on Corel Draw and had it printed as a photograph @ 20" x 30".

where it plans

@bryanzoro I did my own graphic design on a computer and had it printed like a photograph on a large format printer. I dont have the plans in a tiled PDF format. You can get plans for a good looking Extra 300 very similar to this from RC Groups. It was posted by someone called EWO and the heading reads "Extra 300--No password required" Try the search feature and type that in, good luck!

@RikkieRc Greetings and thanks for the comments. If you want the plane lighter, you can lighten it up about 20% by tracing the template onto the foam, paint whatever designs you want, and then glueing it together. I, personally, was willing to trade a little performance for better looks. The plane, however will still do vertical flight with about a 200 watt motor. AUW is about 19 ounces give or take a few depending on what battery I use.
