Avro Vulcan Foam Build: This is my first model airplane built out of flat-foam board and the free plans were obtained from: www.modelaviati.... Building your own park-ready delta wing out of 6mm foam board is easy and you get to enjoy flying a model with a slightly scale look, plenty of power, and maneuverability that will inspire you to want to build more flat-foam models.
Personal Modifications: All foam parts were covered in packing tape & edges sealed with aluminum tape; markings were printed on plain paper using a inkjet printer & glued on with puzzle glue; a Velcro strap was added to secure the battery; wing tips were used to serve as landing skids; & the motor mount was reinforced with plywood braces. Email me at hillpics1@aol.com to see photos of how I protected the prop during landings.

Randomly discovered this while researching non-motorized gliders ("deluxe paper airplanes"). That flight was awesome and I can only imagine the feeling. A belated congrats. Thanks for posting this years before I needed it!

I know this video is few years old now but I recently built one of these. I used a Propdrive v2 3530 1400KV Motor and 7x4 propeller. It can fly nice and slow and at full throttle is a beast! Very stable in flight. It has become one of my favourite aircraft to fly.Thank you Willie.

Jon, thanks for leaving a comment and you are so right in that this easily becomes one favorite airplane to fly. It is so stable yet it's performs basic aerobatics, and I love the Space Shuttle look that it has in flight. I checked out the motor that you used, but I've stopped buying from HobbyKing because their shipping rates sometimes cost more than the product. I hope you become a subscriber if you aren't already.

Kyle, thanks for you comment and your advancements you're thinking about sounds awesome. I would love to see any future build and video that you might come up with. I've built three of this design: One for a friend that was dying to have it and two for myself (the one in the video and a spare). The spare is still sitting on the shelf because this plane is so easy to fly and land). I've never crashed it. I hope you become a subscriber to the channel. Enjoy!

At the end, I realized how messy, noisy and having a limited spaces to fly in our city then I opted to build foamies only.

Thanks for your comment & I hope you become a subscriber to my channel. I can personally tell you that this is one of my favorite models to fly & whenever I fly it at the field guys just stop & watch it. It is a phenomenon to fly either at harrier rate or as a speeding bullet! The model could easily become a production item because that's how good the design is. Here's the link to the plans: www.modelaviation.com/avrovulcan I took the file to a printing company and for a few bucks I had a paper printout to use for cutting out the foam pieces. Packing tape covered the parts & I sealed the edges with 1/2" aluminum tape to avoid moisture getting into the exposed edges. I also added two spring wire landing skids to protect the prop from ground strikes. Send me Ur email address & I can send you pics showing what I did. (hillpics1@aol.com) Good luck!

After 4 yrs. I still have this plane and it is one of my favorites to fly because it flies extremely well and has tons of power to do aerobatics & climb like a rocket.

I'm not certain what motor you're using (it's weight has to be considered), but those measurements should get you really close to a perfect maiden flight. Let me know what you think about the model once you get yours built and flying. Enjoy!
