Russian lawmakers authorize Putin to use military force outside the country, Part II

TLDR: Simple Cardboard Aeroplane Design means you can have SCADs of them for cheap Wink

Seriously, though, that looks a whole lot like the SPADs that became popular in the R/C aircraft hobby around the late 90s/early turn of the century due to their low cost and durability. P for plastic, as they were notable for using the corrugated plastic sheets you see on roadside political signs and USPS mail baskets, rather than the traditional built up balsa wood or resistive-wire-cut styrene foam and fiberglass that were the hot new materials of the 80s and early 90s. With lighter and more powerful 2020s batteries electric power is a practical long-flight option at last, so the classic two stroke model airplane engines that make a lot of noise and burn lubricated fuel that would leave the wings and body of a plane drenched in oil that would turn a cardboard plane into mush in minutes (or a foam one in a few flights, if poorly sealed against it) are no longer necessary.
