I have an article, fullsize plans in PDF, and a video about building a model glider from foam plates, foam tray, and milk carton cardboard.

Thats a great way to recycle things, turning objects we take for granted into something we can all have fun with, i don't think i have ever been that creative when it comes to cardboard and foam. I will attempt to make one, but my foam and cardboard trimming skills are little to none.

I sure would like to hear from someone that built the Foam Jet II. It might be best to try the FPG-9 first, search for template and instructions on the Internet. The flight trimming is a little tricky with a catapult glider in that it goes so fast at the beginning of the launch and then has to transition to slow glide. Watching my video Fun WIth Foam Gliders should give you an idea what the glide is like.
