How are my foam airplanes?

Piles of wings, tails and fuselages in the corner. Right now I have perfected the double cambered wing from Dollar Tree foam.  That is a first, for level flight I can get the maximum lift with minimum weight and surface area. I have the fuselages down to single layer rolled foam on circular bulkheads, making it possible to get really lightweight but sturdy fuselages. I have planes for rubber band all the way up to 6 4 kwatt electric motors.  But I I have only one receiver and one extra servo, time to purchase.

A large tenth scale is doable, requires work with dowels and popsicle sticks. I only use Dollar ree white glue,  but I do work the hot glue gun to make and hold creases, a cheat.It would have a 12 foot wing span. But I have no room, nor is it easy to get to the park.  If I could go to the park, then have the thing fly autonomously to my location...?

I intend to make Dollar tree famous.
