While digging on the internet studying different ways to make floats and hulls. I found those curious examples of extremely quick folding origami like boats.

It reminds some RC aircraft or velomobile fairings made out by coroplast for quick building.

It might be possible to use this material for many parts of a real small and light aircraft type part 103, not necessarily with flat surfaces like the Wainfain Facetmobile. It will help to reduce the building time and perhaps also the need for a hangar.
