Assembly:

Wing: I re-used the wing from my Super Stick, which is a Jedelsky foamboard wing

Fuse: Foamboard core, with 1/20" balsa sheeting put on with 3M77 glue.

Tail feathers: Grocery store meat trays!

Wheels: VCR rubber rings for tires, on 3/32" balsa rims

Flying:

It's a reasonable slow flyer, which was built specifically for indoor use, but also flies great outdoors with a 7x270 pack.

Update:

It's now converted into a biplane. I raised the top wing support with bamboo skewers, and added a wing mount on the bottom. The extra drag and lift allows it to fly slower, which is fine for indoor use.
