I've built from scratch and tested an aircraft based on Kline-Fogleman
modified KFm2 airfoil. It's wingspan is 75 cm (aprox. 30 inches). The
cost of the airframe is less that 5 USD (a sheet of foam-board 2 USD, a
stick of hot glue 50 cents, the packing tape 1 USD, two zip ties 20
cents.).
Here is the link to a small article with photos and a video:
http://ausleuchtung.ch/kfm2/ , which I wrote. This airframe is dead
simple, it takes three-four hours to built, less if one did it before.
I scraped motor, two servos, receiver from a retired glider, but if
bought new they would cost about 100 USD. However, these electronic
devices are reusable and practically unbreakable.
Best regards,
Oleksiy
