Dudes --

A short little film ("podcast") about some trash-based RC models:

"[The host] introduces us to the amazing flying machines of Carl Rankin 
-- they're made from unusual materials, like drinking straws, tape, 
thread, even restaurant take-out boxes. The "Jules Verne" looks more 
like a clipper ship than a radio-controlled model plane."

Bonus points to the guy who figures what kind of radio he's flying - I 
can't tell.
