Had a go at putting together a model for a flying wing.
Aim to have construction to be as simple as possible. So based all dimensions upon A4, 3mm deep foam board. Combined with some 3d printed parts.
Key: Yellow: foam board, Green: Printed parts
Total cost would be: including motors, flight controller, analogue camera, battery, GPS - £121.63

Feedback welcome before I start printing, cutting and glueing.

Small tweaks - but foam easy to cut with printed templates.

so you are cutting those from flat sheets I suppose - how do you give the wing its profile (if any)? I suppose profile is mostly for efficiency - it should fly with flat wings? (genuine open question - not done any wing thing yet)
Foam board can be bent very easily to produce a profile, check out any of the FliteTest videos
