As far as foamies go, you could buy a roll of fiber tape, a roll of colored packing tape, a tube of Goop, and some epp foam. Feather cut a 7037, or 3021 airfoil with a 10% AR. Cut out a decent fuse shape fuse length 40-50% of wing span, add your corroplast stabilizers 12-18% of wing area (rudder heighth no less than tips of polyhedral section), rudder and elevator 4-7% of wing area, nose length 1-1.5 times the chord, dihedral 1"per foot on inner panel-polyhedral 1.75"per foot on outer panel, wing-stab gap 1.8-2.5 times the chord, inclinate the leading edge 2.5 degrees and declinate the stab leading edge 1 degree.
