Foam Casualty is a blog "Dedicated to building your own foam RC aircraft from scratch." The author is a builder of radio controlled planes made from foam. He uses SketchUp to draw the plans, unfold, and print them to paper. Once printed, the plans are used as templates for cutting the foam.
Here's a flight video of a P51D designed using SketchUp.

SketchUp SVG Exporter & Tutorial
Flights of Flights of Ideas has posted a new SVG exporter for SketchUp. (Tutorial)

SketchUp Custom Toolbars
2010-09
* Updated for small bug in placement in SketchUp 8.
toolbars-2010-09.zip
This is an update to Custom Toolbars plugin with the missing icons replaced. I must thank Nathan Cheever for his hard work on these icons.
This Plugin allows you to build your own customized Toolbars. Creating a Toolbar is easy; Custom Toolbars creates a "Toolbars" folder in your SketchUp Plugins folder. Create a .txt file in this Toolbars folder and give it the same name as you want the name of the Toolbar. Then, edit the .txt file and simply list the name of the tool you would like to appear in the Toolbar.
See the examples .txt file in the Toolbars folder.
This plugins needs to be enabled from the Preferences > Extensions Dialog. Toolbars are available in the View > Toolbars menu.
Example Toolbars
There 3 example toolbars available when you install the plugin:
The following image shows the buttons available for use in your own toolbars.
