Build Plan (PDF, AI, etc.)
The White Diamond was originally designed in my head over a work lunch, and stemmed from a desire to build a small, fast plane using only one sheet of foam board in the minimum amount of time possible. Influenced by my love for sleek stealth aircraft, this plane takes a unique approach to single sheet foam planes. The first flight was not a success, but after a weekend of thinking through the physics and aerodynamics, I found that the plane needed slight downward reflex instead. After this minor adjustment, it flew like a dream! I have since built several more and flown them with micro FPV, as well as flying the original prototype in combat at FliteFest Ohio in 2017. I wanted to give back to the community, so after two years of tweaking and prepping, I'm please to release these plans for others to build also.
