Here's the Hydro-Foam model/Code made up from plans found on RC groups The plans had a lot of inconsistencies so I did my best to make it right feell free to change it if you like. This one is made up from all 6mm/1/4" foam. The original one I read is made up from 3mm. So this has been scaled up a bit. If some one wants to tackle the 3mm one that would be great. I have built this one once but not from this redesigned file. So let me know if it works for you. Thanks Mark Have fun with her.

I would put It on a some kind of Stick Mount on top. I would Use a medium to high KV motor w/small prop. Cheers E-T Attached files
Well on the 3d model the canopy is different than the actual canopy that gets cut out, and the one that gets cut out is a little more squared. Your welcome to convert the other canopy as well and try them both out I just didn't have time. E-T is right on the motor mount, or you could make a hole so that it sticks through the foam and under the main canopy top. Mark
I had gotten this one from "RED" when it first came out. Fly's pretty good , I have a friend who built a 5 ft long version. Unreal!!! I'd like to see a mini one also for indoors...Thanks
blindflight, Seems to be a lot of controversy surrounding this one, but it seems to have died down. The plans were free so I thought I would give it a go. A 5' version unreal! is right. A small kid could sit on there and drive it around the lake holding the transmitter Got any links or videos to that one? Thanks Mark p.s. AL sorry for the lack of a response Its been early nights with nyquil induced sleeps. I will get with you soon Mark
Ive got it built except for the canopy. I can't figure out which pieces get attached and which pieces remain removable. Something has to be a hatch for the battery right?
