easystar by multiplex is a very stable airframe, and ardupilot is designed for use with the Easystar. However, its on backorder pretty much everywhere

Almost any cheap indestructible trainers( made of EPO or elapor foam) would do. I used hobbico nexstar .which is fairly good for the job and I enjoyed it. but space is premium inside small models. easystar clones are available which are cheaper but may need little modification to get the AP inside.

hmm...I like your idea for the hawk sky, but I think I'm gonna have to go with the easystar. As you mentioned in your article about the hawksky, the easystar has better stability and can handle crashes better. thanks anyway

this one is good cheaper replacement, I have flown it plain RC mode and it was fun. But I like the skywalker better due to internal space and over all size. You can pretty much put every thing you want inside. Similar to multiplex Easystar but bigger & It is EPO foam too( ask and confirm before you order) since there some EPP version floating around.
