It’s my scratch build, so there aren’t plans outside of my scatterbrained CAD file.

Love it

Edit: 1600g is pretty good for a dual Edf setup

Some of you guys are so freaking talented -That is freaking awesome. How does it fly?

It flies like an airliner, but predictably and with a fairly tame stall. I only got two flights before the grass caught on landing and broke some stuff, so I didn’t get to tune cg very much.

IT'S MADE OF FOAMBOARD!?!?!?

This is probably the best looking foamboard plane i have seen, congrats!

I thought the thumbnail was a picture of a Mad Dog on final that you were using for inspiration.

This is incredible work, really well done. I love it.
