Here is a gallery of my foamboard RC airplanes that I have made in recent years:
(not in any chronological order, also all of these airplanes are designed by me through experimenting with cuts and folds on the fly [no cheating with laser-cutting])
The Mig-21, probably one of my favorite foamboard planes I have built ever. Uses a 70mm edf and 4S battery, but with my flight experience it seemed to be really underpowered. It flew really stable though, probably thanks to the fact that it resembles a dart.
Wingspan: 0.8m
Length: 1.2m
Version 3 of the Mig-21 (yes I built the "same" airplane three times). This is a classic example of taking everything I learned from the first two versions (the second version had nothing notable to talk about) and applying it to a new one, and it paid off... well sorta. You'll have to watch the video to find out what happens...
Wingspan: 0.6m
Length: 1.1m (it's teeny compared to v1)
Top view- with all the electronics in place it's a tight fit
When I was making the airplane, I wanted it to be based off of a Russian air racer with those really far back cockpits, and I settled on the Su-26 or Yak-11, specifically named "Mr Awesome".
Probably the most tame out of all my airplanes, it was a pleasure to fly without constantly making sure that it won't crash into the ground. This was also the first flight I got to record with a runcam, which was pretty cool.
Wingspan: 1.3m
Weight: 1.3kg
The Mig-15, which was built a few weeks after the Mig-21. This airplane was really tiny and used the same electronics, in an attempt to reduce weight. Unfortunately, as I cheaped out on the servos, I was unable to control the aircraft at high speeds and it ended up crashing spectacularly.
Avert your eyes if it's too much to handle...
Wingspan: 0.8m
Length: 0.8m
VID_20210801_151636.mp4(Classic mom rotating the camera 90 degrees)
Simple stick airplane, used as a trainer when I am rusty.
Wingspan: 1.5m
A combination of balsa wood and foamboard, this WWI inspired frankenstein plane barely got off the ground with a 4S battery.
Wingspan: 1.7m
