Scratch-built RC foamboard flying from the Authentic Texas Experience - Episode 1

First flights of So.Big plane built from Home Depot and Dollar Tree foamboard, hot glue, random RC parts, and lots and lots of tape.

Quad-sized version of foamflyer.info's "So" series of inexpensive homemade foam airplanes.

It's a bit underpowered with a salvaged 300W motor. We're upgrading it with a 500W motor, though both are high RPM, small prop, and we would prefer the better battery life of a low RPM, large prop for this setup, which we'll probably do in some not too distant future.

Motor is a 2831 1400kv brushless outrunner; battery is a Turnigy Nanotech LiPo 4S 1.8 from Hobby King.

Thing flew... pretty great.
