Ugly Wonder [BUILD]

Hello everyone, this will be a round up of my build of the Ugly Wonder foamie. As usual in my case, I use what i have available. the foam board used is 3mm thick, very light and when covered actually durable. the plans were downloaded from the FliteTest forums, from a thread belonging to a member called SPONZ,  this guys is great, very helpful. he usually improves the plans and makes them easier to use, or in this case the an original design.

So basically its as usual, get plans printed, pin them to the foam mark and cut, there are not really that many parts, that make this plane. It came together really fast.
THe Major Components of the plane
Completed airframe
Assembly is really easy, the plane was made without the power pod design and with a permanent electronics.Speaking of which here is the list:

  • Amax G2822 2600KV motor, 6x4 propeller
  • 30A Plush Esc
  • 2x9g servos
  • 1300mah lipo
  • Frsky V8R4-II


All up weight is 450 grams with battery. A small modification was made to the bottom , were a flap was cut to give access inside the fuselage. The flap was beveled all round to seat the flap in place, something that I saw previously but alway forgot to do when building. Below are the pictures of the result. The weather has been quite bad lately and will wait for a decent day with no wind before the maiden flight. If it flies it gets painted.  Until then Happy Flying!
