I've built from scratch and tested an aircraft based on Kline-Fogleman 
modified KFm2 airfoil. It's wingspan is 75 cm (aprox. 30 inches). The 
cost of the airframe is less that 5 USD (a sheet of foam-board 2 USD, a 
stick of hot glue 50 cents, the packing tape 1 USD, two zip ties 20 
cents.).

Here is the link to a small article with photos and a video: 
http://ausleuchtung.ch/kfm2/ , which I wrote. This airframe is dead 
simple, it takes three-four hours to built, less if one did it before.

I scraped motor, two servos, receiver from a retired glider, but if 
bought new they would cost about 100 USD. However, these electronic 
devices are reusable and practically unbreakable.

Best regards,

Oleksiy
