I've got a BUHOR (Big Ugly Hell On Rails) nearly complete right now. 
The fuselage is two 42" 3/4" aluminum "L" rails with 2-1/2" spacers made 
of the same stuff.  Wing & empennage are 4mm Coroplast.  I made a 
mistake when purchasing the Coroplast and ended up way short on the 
wing.  It's 48" instead of 60".  I've got a 16 year old OS Max .40 FP to 
go on the front end.  Should prove...interesting to fly. :)
