Exotic materials build challenge

[Arcfyre]

Here's a goofy idea, on the level of a flying chair and a little tykes car:

Have a build competition using some unusual materials. My first thought would be a "shipping and receiving" plane. Using only materials from your shipping department, design and build a plane. See who's flies best.

I really really want to see a bubble-wrap airfoil. Packing peanut landing gear maybe. Something along those lines.

Another possibility would be a flying food challenge. Design and build an airplane entirely out of food. Deep fry a tortilla and you have the airfoil from a nutball. Nilla wafer landing gear and saltine crackers for control surfaces... The possibilies are endless... and delicious.

Just a thought.

Peter Sripol made a food plane ,
but i'd love to see the shipping and handling dept. in a build challenge using cardboard, bubble wrap, and packing peanuts.
