This is just a little C47 flat foamy I threw together for fun..that and a local multi engine flyin. It has a 63 inch wingspan and weighs about 1 and 3/4 pounds. it flies like a feather.. I used the outlines from a M.A.N. plans I had bought, and then just added in some tri stock for leading edge of the wing, and a short carbon wing spar (30inch)..I also put some fiber reinforced strapping tape on the bottom of the 1/2 foam wing. The fuselage is half inch and the tail is the thinner FAN FOLD FOAM used in 3D foamies... its all real simple and low tech. right down to the brushed on hobby paint. It was a fun distraction between the big gas birds at the event..this film was taken the next day. there was alittle wind from time to time, but it was settling down near the end of the filming.
