Hi, Concerning the three-pack of swappable planes, the Flite-Test store website says, "... all laser-cut from 5mm paper reinforced depron foam." However, I've read at the RCGroups forums ("Where to get Depron now in the U.S.?") that the maker of Depron products is getting out of the modeling...

Hi, i have never used foam in my life. I wonder where in Sweden you can get cheap foam that works for building model aircraft. If anyone know it would be very nice to know were you could get it. Thank you!

Hi it's nearly midnight and I have just cut my first foam wing for more that 30 years. New project will look something like this: So far I have just cut the left wing: I will be interested to see how it glides when the parts are cut before adding a motor etc. MH45 with a 57" wingspan by...

Show Suggestion: how about a head-to-head between the (newly repaired!) E-FLite Cessna 150 and the Flex Innovations Cessna 170 that you showed us in March? Both Big, Both lovely, Both Foam, I'd love to know. Thanks,

I've been wanting to build an edf f-104 for a while, and finally broke down and decided to do it. The wingspan is 30" clean, without tip tanks, and is 80" long. It's actually longer than my build table. The nose will be removable for transport. Sadly I couldn't find scale retracts for this size...

Hi, guys! Big fan here. I'm a n00bie when it comes to flying rc model aircrafts. My limited experience it's with a second-hand quadcopter which I've bought last year from a rc-flohmarkt in Germany(I'm from Romania,btw). Last time when I've tried to fly my quad it was all good, but the big...

Budget-scratchbuilt a wing WITHOUT prior RC build experience! Hello folks! I'm glad to let you all know I have this lovely project in the making. Now you'll be wondering why I picked this title, but I'm serious when I said I don't have any experience in physical RC aircraft building. I always...

Hey everyone, I've recently ween working on a new project involving a covering technique of lining it with strips of delaminated foam. This, of course, is not perfect and I'd like to know what would be the best solution to filling the cracks for future sanding and finishing. Any advice? Thanks

Outside the US us scratch builders have a very different foam board available. Among the differences is weight. Some have said it's as much as 30% heavier. My question is how can I compensate for the weight? I've built a Tiny Trainer and I know it will fly because if I throw it it has a lovely...

I thought I remembered that the hot glue does not stick to the foam board after it has been coated with Water Based Minwax Polycrylic? If so, coating the parts BEFORE assembly is out of the question and I need to assemble the aircraft first. Is this correct? Thanks, Bob

Hey Guys, I've been wanting to build a CNC for a long while. I've tried one last year, just like the one in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgbCy2tQg9Y but had a lot of problems with jagged movement. This week I decided to scavange all parts I had laying around and start a new...

Hi guys, I am trying to build a scale MiG-15, but I ran into a couple of problems. I need thick foam to hot wire cut the wings and tail sections. I looked everywhere but could only find 1 1/2" thick foam. I would like to use 3" or 4" thick foam, anyone know where I could find that? Thanks!

When I entered the hobby 5 years ago at the age of 10 my first 4 planes were all made of EPP and were almost indestructible. These planes were amazing and incredibly durable but nowadays i can no longer find any reasonably priced EPP foam! Does anybody else have any idea where to get some...
