Here are some final build pictures. The first shows three different material and finish tests. I made one from 80 lb card stock with a color print. The second I used the same print and card stock but I sprayed two layers of clear coat on the print side, and dark gray enamel on the back side. The third I printed on 51 lb HP photo paper and sprayed the backside with dark gray enamel. I used the photo paper version for the final model, as it exhibited the best strength, weight, and appearance for the flying version. The double coated card stock seemed to have a little too much weight and performance was sluggy.

The others show the final LM and the little drone that will power it. Videos of test flights to come...
