Here's what I was doing earlier. Just finished the wing for my Aeronaut glider, it seems kinda flexible so I don't know what I think about it. The center is reinforced with a dowel and each polyhedral joint is reinforced with popsicle sticks but still it flexes.

I posted this earlier in some other threads but completely forgot to put it up here.

Just finished my latest build, the Aeronaut. A 2m sailplane designed by me. This is my second sailplane design and weighs in at 491g, almost 100g less than my last one. It is 4ch running off a 1300mah 3s. I made plans for it if anyone's interested, it would be nice to have a beta builder or two since I haven't tested them.

Honestly I think it's too pretty to fly but I guess I'll have to eventually.
