I love bush planes like the bushmaster and beaver, and would love to see a mighty mini one that runs on an a pack, and flies light and slow but can also be aerobatic. It would be cool because there are very few planes like this that could be this small.

I’ve decided to build my own bushmaster. I got images from extreme flight’s website and found an image with dimensions there. I took it, put it in inkscape, made it 45% scale, and printed it out. Question is, should i build a prototype now with this heavy foam i mistakenly bought and now have a bunch of? Or should i wait and get light foam?
Im also using an Ft mini explorer 3ch wing and adding ailerons as the wing

If you're concerned if things will fit together and want to make corrections on the fly (pun intended) then use the heavy stuff. That approach comes with one danger, though. If your plans work out fine and everything fits together the first time then you're going to want to fly it!
My experience turned out well, your mileage may vary:
