Hi All,
I designed an F-35 with a 64mm EDF in SketchUp and then built it using the standard foam board, and figured I would share it here if anyone was interested.
A couple of notes about the build:
1) I put a CC3D flight controller in it so that it would have auto level and it worked great; even in windy conditions only holding the throttle it would stay straight and level.
2) I made the whole top removable so that I could get inside and make adjustments without removing hot glue joints. To do this I used similar methods and clips used to hold RC car bodies on.
3) As for electronics I used a 20A ESC and had to use a 3s 1300mAh battery since my 2200mAh was a little to heavy for this model, but a 4s might give it the needed power to carry that amount of weight.
Here are some pictures:
