    Can you make the swappables with HK foam

    In australia you cant get the dollar tree foam board, so this is the best alternative. When watching the build videos it seems like the designs rely on the paper backing, which I do not believe the hobbyking foam has. Is it then possible to make the designs with it? Link...

    FOAM BOARD Avengers quinjet

    My latest project is an RC Quinjet. It will have an airfoil later, but I'm just getting the dimensions down for now. I'm planning on placing two 1806 motors on the back and using thrust vectoring. HopefullyI will have the build finished and up on youtube by next thursday. Thoughts?:confused:

    Eckersly Black Posterboard, remove paper?

    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...

    Paint Adhesion On Packing Tape

    Hell Guys and Gals, I use Rustoleum spray paint on my DTFB models but there is no adhesion to the taped parts. The paint can be pealed off like a separate layer of plastic. Has anyone found a solution that will not damage the foam board parts?

    My KF Airfoil Sport Glider

    After building multiple Versa wings, I figured I would try my hand at designing my own wing design. I decided to go with a Kline–Fogleman stepped airfoil for the simplicity and glide characteristics. In an effort to balance the air frame without adding any extra weights to the nose, I...

    Any Kiwis tried Warehouse Stationery 5mm foamboard?

    I'm based in Whangarei, trying to find some half decent foamboard for building. Seems my only 2 real choices locally are Warehouse Stationery (who only seem to have the 5mm 20"x30" sheets) and Bunnings that sells Elmers 5mm foamboard. From looking through the forums, it sounds like Elmers is...

    UK Foam Board for wings/fuselage - 5mm Vitrex from Screwfix

    Just happened to be over at a friend's house when he was doing some laminate flooring and he had the below 5mm insulation foam. Looks just the job for making wings, and it's pretty cheap too! I folded over a piece of scrap to see how strong it was for a leading edge and it looks good. It will...
