Picked up one of the little EPP foam Popwing gliders on the free shipping sale over at Nitroplanes.com. Some versions of the kit are on sale for as little as 29.95.
Decent amount of carbon structure in the wing makes it fairly stiff for hot wire cut EPP. Certainly robust enough for 18mm BP motors.
Wingspan is about 24" and it looks like it will convert nicely for C6 rocket power and weigh in close to 4oz.
Planning on insetting the 18mm motor mount tube as far forward in the wing as practical to keep the CG shift to a very small amount and to keep the thrust on the center of mass.
More as it comes along.
