Davereap's flying wing
Thanks Davereap for something so simple even I can build it in a couple of evenings, and I build at a sub-glacial rate!
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=434265 6mm Depron. LE 'spar' from 6mm dia CF tube split lengthways (didn't have any 4mm tube  ). Held together with packing tape, a little UHU POR and hot glue. 10.7oz with GWS 2205, APCe 8x4, 1200mAh 3S1P LiPo, cheap 18A ESC, GWS rec and a couple of 5g servos. Keel reinfoced with fibre tape and 3M77, as is the TE.Hovers at about 1/2 throttle and wafts around on hardly any throttle!

I built myself one of these last aussie summer. It was a ton of fun, until it landed in a dam. Will be my next build. Love the shape, love the way it flies, EASY to make. All round good fun!!!

Just found out why I had a spare GWS RX. It's because this one is
  ! Glitch, glitch.....crunch. The fibre reinforced keel was worth the effort though. Nothing a bit of tape and hot glue can't sort out
