These radio control model aircraft are largely made from corrogated plastic - known as Correx in the UK and Coroplast in the US (Coroflute in Austrailia).

Some big advantages of these planes are:
Blue Movie 2 - Peter Miller's Sports design

SPAD - combat/sport/trainer designs from the USA

Mini flat SPAD - my own design mini spad with a flat fuselage



A new 3d fuselage for the flat spad's wing - this will keep the radio stuff nice and clean and make it much easier to adjust down/sidethrust and the angle of the wing. (yes I know the wing dowels are a bit wonky...)

Recommended sites

SPAD - the home of the Simple Plastic Airplane DesignsCorrex surfaces with a gutter-pipe fuselage! Many plans available online after a small payment - well worth it.

Don Incoll's pages (see the combat section) show a 'Viper' which is available as a US kit from Speedy Aircraft. Also on these pages are free plans for a very interesting Correx Delta Gremloid

Traplet PublicationsPlans available to buy online - Blue Movie 2 is in the Sport section. 'High Flying on a Low Budget' book is recommended too.

RA Cores Combat plane kits

Airplane Factory - Kombat planes Durable aircraft kits with Correx surfaces and an aluminium fuselage. Some think these are ugly - I think they look great (impossible to get them in the UK). I have imported one of these and built it in a couple of evenings. First flight was scary but it was in gale-force winds. More info to follow.

Hat Trick EnterprisesSmall and cheap combat planes. Correx fuse with foam wings.

Battle Floyd Home of the Battle Floyd combat planes.

U.S. AircorePerhaps the original plastic planes. These are very expensive in the UK - much cheaper to build a Blue Movie!

mugiA Correx delta - very simple to make. I will have to try one of these soon. Excellent website too.

Sorry, this site is now quite dated and I no longer have time to manage it, or actual build/fly the planes (sad). I highly recommend SPADs. Have Fun - Andy Colebourne
