foam board

Technically not my first, but the first I completed and posted publicly. I worked on this over the summer and got some good flights and iterations out of it. Started with 56" wings, then cut down to 42". The plans have lines indicating both configurations, one was great for gliding and longer...

Running out of blue FFF, decided to see what you can adapt to make a flyable plane. The producer of the black foamboard is R L Adams in Michigan. 3 planes I am going to do are F-117, 3D acrobatic, and my version of the Sponz "Wonder". Chose black(inside is white) since I was designing a...

My computer died many months ago. I have no way to print plans or play War Thunder and my life has been incomplete Haha. Anyways, could someone please help me figure how to build a 2 sheet, high wing, 3-4 channel, 36"-48" span, single or twin engine plane I can gain flying experience with...

I was wondering what would be the best foam for rc builds. I built a few planes with hobby lobby white foam, 3/16". It works greats for planes with minimal bending in forming of curves like the scout, but for something like the Trainer or Cub, what would be a good cheap foam to use. I heard that...

I hope to get my 3D Printed J3 Cub flying this weekend and try to keep it above ground at all times. For reading pleasure in the mean time I've been learning about the FT way of doing things on the forum. I found the plans section. Who knew? :LOL: I'm just blown away with what they provide...

I'm the project manager for my school's Design Build Fly team this year. In the past few years, we either bit off more than we could chew or just had other issues getting a plane in the air, so this year I aimed to have a simple flying prototype by the end of week 3. We started last Friday and...

I ran across a video of the Swoose Goose a few months ago and thought “Hey, that would make a cool FT build.” Then I thought “You haven’t built an FT plane in years, and you have never made plans for one.” I was learning to design parts in onshape so I told myself “Take a hike, we’re doing this...

Bloody Rascal Based on the FT Bloody Baron and SideWinder designed by Dan Sponholz Design by: Justin Boetsma Plans by: Dan Sponholz This plane came from two places. One was to find a happy middle ground between the swappable Bloody Baron and the built-like-a-tank SideWinder. The power pod was...

Does anyone have balsa glider plans that i can use to turn into foam plans? I will make it 1m wing span and use a f pack motor on it And i want to try out fusion 360

(Disclaimer: I do not know for sure that Maker Foam v2 will be a reality.) Hey guys just wanted to start a discussion about FT WR Foam Board and the possibility of Maker Foam v2 (or something similar) being released soon! So the FT brown water resistant foam boards (25 and 50 ct. boxes) are...

Hi! I going to make my first rc plane soon. Have been doing a loottt of research. One question... Are there more sustainable materials to create my plane in than foamboard. Anything reusable or compostable or recyclable?

I've lurked around these forums long enough. Time to share my latest project: an easy-to-fly foamboard jet built around a 3900kV (3S) 64mm FMS EDF unit. Wingspan is 120cm; AUW (with 3S 3000mAh) is 1150g. Very wide flight envelope. It has a large wing surface so it floats forever. It flies like...

I have one of these bevel cutters and it works really well. I've never really liked A and B folds so for my next plane (a pusher Hangar Simple Stick with FPV) I thought I would just cut bevels for the square profile body and fold it up. It sure was quicker and easier to build. Has anyone else...
