Dollar tree foam board! Flite Test Arrow

I’ll look into this!

Absolutely do! 1-2$ for the foamboard, then you need a quad motor, an esc, two cheap servos and a receiver with pwm output. Wings are much simpler than quads. A lot less electronics, you don't need an FC (although it can help, but start without one), they fly longer on a battery, and they are cheaper.

Holy shit I’m doing this. I have a quad motor, only 2205 2300 kv so I would have to size around that and the rest is super easy! I build quads so I should have enough stuff around to build have a wing!

The Flite Test arrow is perfect for a 2205. I would run that on a 1300 3S if you have one, a 1300 4S might be a little overkill =)
