This is my little experiment: FT mini Explorer downsized to 80-83% and most of the construction is made from EPP in av variation of thickness and also covered with thin epp covering plastic. Dry weight is just around 164g and the wingspan (sports wing) is just around 80cm. Runs on powerpack A and 2s
lipo (450-800).

It's a little powerhouse even on 2s and fine glider. :)

Looks awesome! Great idea, and the execution is amazing! My only question is the all-up weight. It would be really cool if it were sub-250 grams. :)
