Here’s something different! We’ve all seen or flown those cheap foam chuck gliders at budget shops, could they really be a cheap and cheerful plane? Or will they end up even more expensive than something ‘off the shelf’?

Well the internet as you might expect is full of opinions! A little searching showed up many videos on some familiar foam fuselages available at your local budget store. Kmart currently has a decent size chuck for around $3! Your local Hobby Shop a little more, but a better frame. Could these really be some cheap fun, or is it just a fun build for a calm day?

Check out this short selection of builds below, each one a little different and all have their own flair! If this interests you there’s heaps more examples on Youtube, but be warned! That’s a deep rabbit hole to fall down!
