I like it!
It'll be fine, everything is fine.

In my opinion, the idea of a pizza box plane is to use an old pizza box (reduce/re-use-recycle). Crincklies and grease-stains add to the flavour...

In my quest for non-existing EZ Pac planes, here are 7 that don't exist and now fly.
All of mine are made of Adam's board. Those who say they could be made from cardboard, could you explain which direction(cardboard has a weak and strong axis) so it doesn't become un flyable. Especially the maiden flight. Talking about the nose, sides, and tail in crashes
For instance, my delta, do you put the cardboard ribs front-back or wing to wing? or do you use Adam's board like me?
Now think what @Piotrsko and I are trying to say about cardboard. Will @AgentC have luck?, will see. The area is about 120, weight is within range(my bipe is 70+ grams.) Depends on the G loading in flight. Maybe this discussion will increase the number of planes you can build. Shape is the starter
Flying a swept wing is a challenge without rudder, but I accomplished this and using differential thrust, the plane is docile will give you a 4 minute flight. Handles well in the gusty wind.

Mine flew. I put the corrugation side to side. I do the same thing with the “grain” of Adam’s readiboard. With the lightness of the EZ plane though, I don’t think it matters. The cardboard is plenty stiff in either orientation.
Nice planes you have there!
I completely understand what you you're saying. I absolutely agree that results would be better with foam board. I understand.
I need you and everyone else to understand, that, while I think that I can make this fly (to an extent), the people I work for (and to an extent with) absolutely do not understand.
They picked elements of my proposals and mashed them together without regard to reality.
We'll make it work this year because I don't have a choice. Next year, I'll do something easier with the surviving equipment.

If you rotate the grain on the doublers, all the crinklies are moot because they cancel out. I totally fail to understand why this won't be a stunning success even if some stuff fails. Parts involved: school children. Recycled or otherwise materials, Odd ball non standard learning experience including massive energy releasing outside. Possible flying things. Actual flying things. And all still staying "within respectable rules" ( was a science sub once for what seemed like a couple of lifetimes and that was their restriction [ which kept on getting more and more restrictive])
Did approximately the same with a wallyworld foot powered tire pump and valve stem, made 1liter water bottle rockets. In 2 hours the kids totally wore out the tire pump, made maybe a thousand flights, was a super success. Management was very unhappy at my lack of professionalism. Sound familiar?

Oh, it's going to be great fun and learning will be had. I'm going to try and get them the best results I can, but the vast majority will be thrilled if their creation flys across the gym.
The people with expectations are definitely the adults.
The "adults" in charge want to be featured on the news and take credit. Some people are still mad that, the last time we did something similar and they invited the media, it was my picture in the paper.

Ah, people.
That's awesome!
