For those of you looking for an inexpensive way to implement your favorite uav platform, I found this plane called the Mugi evo (shown above). The plane is built from twin wall polypropylene sheeting and is very cheap to build. After seeing the plans, I seriously think you could build this thing for under 20 dollars. As far as cheap planes go, its looks like it could take a beating. The plans are free to anyone who wants them, and can be found here.
I posted a video below for anyone interested in how it handles.
These little planes are awesome! true, they're probably not for beginners, but there's always some kind of learning curve with every new plane. if you go to the website there's a bunch more videos, namely one where a guy launches from his hand over and over again. pretty impressive actually how effortlessly he does it.
It looks similar to the skyfun, but how does it handle weight? I can't seem to launch the skyfun when I have the APM + batteries (2200 + 600) + FPV Cam and transmitter.

Mugi was opensource project on 2001 and i was made 10+ Mugi for slope soaring.
It is fast, cheap and unbreakable plane concept but very aggressive and not for newbies
