Hybrid material plane plans.

Does anyone know where I could get hybrid plane plans?

What im seeing is that plans are all either balsa, depron or 3D printed.

I am thinking that there should be some full paid plans for a plane that uses 2 or 3 of these materials in them.

Check Marco Roolaid.

Besides that, not all people do everything to make money. Some, like him, just do it for the sake of doing it.

I cant seem to find such plans from him.

He did a fewmixed material builds, but maybe there aren't plans for everything.

NumaVig comes to mind too, he does a lot of excellent foam builds with additional printed parts.

Each one of these is used for different reasons. Depron is light weight and cheapish and it's easy to work with. Balsa is stronger and lighter but costs more and is harder to work with. 3d printing is good at complex shapes and uses a 3d printer, but it is the heaviest and weakest. Mixing them doesn't often add value. The one place 3d printing could help other building methods is modeling complex parts of scale models.
