I have tried for many years to find good foamboard here, cheap. The stuff at the stores is heavy, and expensive, not good for building planes. I have tried different options, and I am still searching for the right one. Options at the moment: FliteTest Foam: Pros - Good quality...

Where do people fly FPV in South Australia? It wouldn't make sense to fly over private property in case your plane/multirotor went down you don't have to trespass (and for privacy reasons too) so whereabouts do people fly here? I'm talking mostly about fixed wing, local ovals are nice and all...

First Post here, HI! so i live in Australia and just started this hobby. apart from the expensive foam, i have also found it hard to find a cheap custom printing place to get the full size plans printed at .I finally had my first Crash-free flight today with my mini sparrow (yay!!). Anyway after...

Hi guys, love the site and videos and very tempted to fly over for the Flitefest. We would love to setup a flitetest distribution in Australia as the shipping and local availability of foam is poor. I have built the FT Spitfire, an FFF Eagle and Infinion all in foam board. Slowly building my...

Hey guys, I got a couple of sheets of the black poster board from Eckersly (I live in Australia). This might be a super dumb question, but all the plans from Flite Test leave the paper on the foam board on both sides unless it is specified in the plans right? I looked at a few of the awesome...

hey guys im sure im not the only one wanting to know about this and wont be the last but i live in Australia and cant get access to Adams board easily or cheaply and was wondering if any one knew of an alternative that could be used instead of Adams board that is just as good. cheers hope...

Hi everyone, My name is David Schummy I'm in Brisbane, Australia. Most people know me for my world record for the furthest throw of any object (without a tail) by a human of 427.2m using a boomerang. I've built many vacuum formed carbon epoxy boomerangs also many from all sorts of...

Hi All, I have been trying to contact the Flitetest guys to hopefully get this question answered but to no avail so far. As an Australian RC pinot with MAAA Membership (the Aussie version of the AMA), would I be able to fly at Flitefest 2016?? Cheers Jason

Well, over 8 months ago I scratch built the FT Bloody Baron. The reason I built this plane was to have a 4 channel that I could learn to use ailerons with. However, due to the size of the park I was flying in I had stepped towards minis and ended up flying a mini scout most of the time. I...

Importing Adams Readi Foam Board to Australia Hi peeps, Just putting my feelers out there to see what kind of response I get to see if this is viable. As most of you are aware the foam used by Flitetest is pretty much non existent or we have much more expensive alternatives here in Australia...

Hi peeps, Just putting my feelers out there to see what kind of response I get to see if this is viable. As most of you are aware the foam used by Flitetest is pretty much non existent or we have much more expensive alternatives here in Australia, or outside the USA pretty much. I have...

Hi there, My son and I are doing our first ever FT builds and we decided on building the FT-22 using Depron. Our electronic parts arrived from HK Australia today, and the first thing I noticed was the size of the 9 x 4.7 slow flyer props. I fitted on the wings that I cut over the weekend and...

Hey guys I have searched all over for foam board in Brisbane from hardware stores to art shops to reject shops. I was wondering if anyone in the Brisbane area knows where to get foam board and if so could guide me to your foamy sources! Thank you!

Hi Folks, Just a bit of info for 1st time builders like myself in Australia. Having looked at the FliteTest beginner videos I decided to build the Nutball Swappable. I purchased the recommended hardware from Hobby King including the orange 6 channel transmitter. When it came to ordering the...
