Hey all, This is my first post of a project. I hope it is done right. I decided to do something with some scrap foam so I was folding a paper plane to throw to my new puppy and the idea hit. I am sure they have them already but here is a 6mm foam "paper airplane" It has a 24 inch wingspan and is 30 inches long. I used the electronics from my crashed ParkZone's Micro Stryker and flies very well. I did modify the battery leads to accept the larger ThunderPower 2 cell 480 mah battery. It will fly a very long time on that! I am very new so the skp file is all I have right now. I am waiting for my new PFlatprinter to arrive soon. I have to learn more about putting it into a cnc file but hope you can do that yourselves (sorry) In reality you can cut it with a straight edge as it is a simple to cut out. I hope you enjoy it as I have several other projects in the autocad dwg format like the flying truck and I am working on some Star Trek and Star Wars Vehicles and others. Any question or comments please let me know. Dan Attached files paperairplane.zip (373.8 KB)Â
Pretty darned cool. A while back I drew up a "paper" airplane, but didn't know about/have the micro gear.. The thing would have been huge for the gear I had so I didn't pursue...
STAR TREK?!!! I heard STAR TREK! WOOHOO! Can't wait. Welcome, new Phlatprinter owner, aka Phlathead. Keep em' comin'.
Well all I watched the videos from "Crash" ie Mark. I learned alot today and here is the cnc file. It is untested and since I am VERY green at this I hope you can let me know if it is ok. Again Mark....Thank you for your great Videos. Here is a great example of what I learned today from you !!! Ok here is the file... If you cut it out let me know how it came out!

Guyz, this is a true testament of just how fast one can be designing ideas for the Phlatprinter. Dan went though the videos and in a matter of days he already had a design in sketchup for me to check out! Awesome job Dan! thank you for sharing this! Yet again I think this would make a great combat plane (I think that about ever plane) Thanks again Mark and Trish p.s. I have some pics Dan sent me of the Paper plane that I thought may help with the builds Attached files
Looks good, I just cut one out. It still amazes me how we can go from a file on the web to reality in a few mins. Attached files
what star wars ships are you working on? I have the imperial star destroyer and have been working on a a-wing
