Umx micro gliders anyone?

[Thermalbirb]

Would like to see some other examples of diy foam power gliders.. this is what im into currently.. 3 or 4ch bricks, brushed motor, single cell lipos under 10grams.. having fun pushing limits on Adams foam and micro gear.. electronics are from a champ RTF. Which was 38grams. My first foam glider came In at 27.6grams with longest flight 22mins with zero heat or thermals.. have lost it in clouds a few times, turns into a dot in the sky..lol. working on new one that will have better stability, more wing area (30") and so far its lighter! If anyone is doing the same with brick receivers (umx) size stuff on gliders I would love to see some examples..

I’d be a little interested maybe
Are you taking the paper off of the foam board and sanding an airfoil?

Yup, think small hand launch glider but in foam. I know, how's it hold up right? It's had over 20 flights now with highest wind being over 29km. This started because all my local shops had nothing to work with, everything in it is dollar store stuff. Wing on first one is single sheet 3 or 4mm. Next one I may go two layers on wing (can do more with airfoil that way, more room for wing spar).. fuselage is 4 layers, hollow core and shaped into a single molded looking piece. started with a 25min flight goal.. longest so far is 22min in 7°c and cloudy, im sure with a war day and few tweaks I can do an hour.
