Some good airplane build plans can be found at http://www.hippocketaeronautics.com. There is a build plan for the 2015 wright stuff though that does not meet this year's criteria. Yet there is another one from the 2009 wright stuff that does meet the dimensions but doesn't have maxed dimensions. You do need to register in order to download plans. I personally suggest these plans for science olympiad. To look for science olympiad planes, go to Indoor Duration, or Indoor Other Classes which are both located under the Free Flight section.

How could you print out the plans?

Here is some hopefully useful stuff for Wright Stuff including plans for the planes our team built and flew this year: "Bandit 1"

The planes were good, just over the 7.5g limit, but we ended up needing to go with less than 1/16" (0.0625 in.) thick rubber which would require a rubber stripper which we did not have. We suspected that 0.050 in. to 0.055 in. would have been much better. Still we could consistently get flight times of 90-110 seconds in a 22 ft. tall gym. With 1/16" rubber we could do a loop that was 41cm long and still be under the 1.5 g limit on the rubber. With that, we were able to get 1800-2000 winds. However we had to "break in" the rubber by winding first to 1500, then 1600, then 1700 before finally being able to wind to 1800 or more.

Thanks for sharing! In the future, Dave Ziegler from Freedom Flight Models sells custom cut rubber. You can buy one of the packs labeled under 0.075", and then shoot him and email saying which width you'd like.
