o_O plane for Random Person. Random Person asked if the plane I made for Eli Legg https://youtu.be/nJmVN1ho8JQ could be made using styrofoam plates, so I had a go. The end result looks a bit odd but it does fly.

Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap.
