Nice... I think I am going to try to build one of those.... I already have everything but the foam... Not sure I understood Josh, and correct me if I am wrong. Did he say "Dollar Store Foam" and if I heard correctly, what is "Dollar Store Foam" I have been in a lot of Dollar Stores, and never have seen sheets of foam...

Great Job Josh... Missed seeing Josh Scott though... Should have had him do the maiden flight

great video, I think I might build one to these specs.

What was the diameter of the main circle on your build? I didn't see any measurements on the drawing.

[earthsciteach]

Yep, its Dollar Store foam. I'm not sure if every dollar store chain carries it. It is also known as Rediboard or foam core.

i've only ever seen the stuff at one of my local dollar stores, i'll be grabbing a sheet or 2 next time i'm there, beats the LHS price by a long shot. (though LHS has a much better selection)

If you cannot find the foam locally, just buy the bulk if you are planning to do more scratchbuilds. Do you have a Dollar Tree locally? You can order 50 sheets for $50 + shipping with a store pickup. Pretty good deal! oh, and also known as Adam's Foamboard, I believe.

and HobbyKing Ruler in the video !

Here the "Dollar Store" does not sell it but "Dollar Tree" or "Everything Is A Dollar" sells it

17", if you download the full size print is printed right in the center. I think that I am going to have the full size printed on one sheet.

Great info... I will have to go shopping for it. I may recognize it when I see it.
