My Dad actually found this because of his and my brother's love for making RC airplanes. Somebody designed and made the Starship Enterprise out of foam. Cause my Dad is really into building models he downloaded the plans and said he's thinking of doing it himself.

It looked like they were about to crash a couple of times. That's awesome! The saucer section and warp nacelles must be shaped into air foils.

I think I've seen this before.  But it's still very cool!

I'd guess it's pretty hard to fly. The regular foam RCs are pretty difficult to fly, I've seen several bad crashes. And I don't think the saucer and nacelies are shaped, they're just flat foam, but the ailerons (located on the back end of the nacelies) are how they control the pitch and keep it in the air.
