I did an RC mach 10 style rcrg back in 2009, on that one I used a cardboard tube and a cruciform foam sheet structure inside the tube and the wings in the centerline. It flew well. I know Rokitflite did one at the same scale and a slightly smaller bt-80 version. On mine I didn't want to eject anything and I kept the horizontal stab level since I can trim for glide with the elevons.
I decided to make another one tonight. I used contact cement and rolled 2mm sheet around a 4" tube double thick, then made the wing, glued it to the bottom this time.
The tube is 4.5" by 20.75" and weighs 1 3/4 oz, the entire model with electronics and an E-6 motor is right at 11 ounces.
I did put a 1" keel on the bottom to help support the tube on landing and give me somewhere to mount the rail buttons and to also protect the servos/receiver on landing.
4.5" diameter, 31" wingspan, 24" long, 11-12oz rtf.
Now it is a kit from dynasoarrocketry.com Comes with a bt-101 tube for the body and depron wing/tail surfaces. Here are a bunch of different schemes I and customers have used..
