foamboard

Build Instructions Below. I flew this air tractor and it has some interesting characteristics. First the CG is really close to the front of the wing only 20MM back. Second is that when landing USE 20% THROTTLE or it will land very hard(it really needs airspeed!. Also I tried to stall the thing...

Hi, I recently bought a Sculpfun S10 laser cutter with the intention to cut my foamboard with it. Obviously not doing my research beforehand i quickly found out that my white (both paper and core) foamboard decided to mess with being lasered. Experiments with black (both paper and core)...

I was browsing the list of Freewing planes on Motionrc and the lippisch caught my eye. I decided to make my first design based on this plane and it flies great. It uses a 50 mm edf but i feel that the plane could be easily scaled down a bit and still fit the fan. It could also be scaled up...

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...

I've shared a lot of this on social media - and I've felt bad for not being on the forums in a while - so especially now that it's flown I want to make sure there's a place here on the FT Forums where I can engage, answer questions, and connect with everyone who isn't on the "other" places. So...

Hello! New here but I used to play this game called Simple Planes on my phone, pretty accurate with flite physics for a phone game and looks good too! The best thing though is that you can build your own stuff to fly, and there's an option to convert your plane into a 3d printable file. Now is...

Pegna P.c.1 was a racing seaplane proposal from designer Giovanni Pegna for the Italian contribute in the Trophy Contest. (Pc =Pegna corsa (Race)) The front and propeller of the Pc 1 pivoted up to clear the water for takeoff, landing, and while operating on the water’s surface. Pegna’s racing...

Looking for foamboard or similar in Australia, depron is too expensive when you can find it and it looks like the HK foam is not available in the 3mm at the moment. Im half way through a project and have run out. I would like to try the Flitetest foamboard but its currently only available in...

Ok so for the past year now i have been making my own foamboard.... yea making my own foamboard...... i used @cdfigueredo method of gluing paper onto 5mm EPS... well that process is hard... tiresome and well when the weather is wet... the glue on the foamboard starts to rot when you want it to...

EZ 3 channel Pack powered F-22 Raptor. Designed for 3 ch EZ Power Pack, and 2 ch pack will work, also. And, the amazing @GrizWiz has created some awesome SKINS for the EZ Raptor! Coming Soon: Build thread

Hey folks! As I have promised a while ago, when I made a video (linked below) with the Phat Slug, here are the complete plans and detailed (almost 30 pages!) instructions: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4544911 Even if you are not interested in the ugly plane itself, I strongly recommend...

Wingspan: 41" Length: 59" Power: Twin 70mm EDF (up to 74mm), 4S-6S Control: All-moving Stabilators or Elevons, and (optional) ailerons More details in build thread: https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/xf-18-super-hornet-twin-70mm-edf-jet-build-pics-plans.62771/

This was my "quarantine build" in early 2020, and I'm so happy with how it came out! It's big, about 7ft long and 4ft span, but it actually is a fairly simple build. The fuselage is simplified, square cross section, but its presence in the air is undiminished. :D Instead of sitting on the...

After over 3 years of building foamboard planes, I think its finally time to open a plan index thread. Unfortunately, Im a computer noob and I dont have plans for all of my scratchbuilds, but I hope that this thread will encurage me to make more plans. This should not only be an index for...

I am looking to try my hand at foam board aircraft design so I can fly it over the summer and gain some experience. I have built a few of the FliteTest aircraft in the past so have some experience in building, but have never designed one myself, and am looking for interesting project ideas...

A friend of mine that I fly with said I should start posting build threads of some of the builds I have done recently. So I decided why not? I am a scratch builder through and through. I have only bought one or two planes total. For the corsair, I decided I want to make this thing as light as...

Star wars has a ton of cool starship designs that look just great, but if you go into the aerodynamics, most of them have huge flaws that make building scale flying replicas almost impossible. It can be a real challenge to find a good balance between scale and good flight caracteristics. I made...

Foamboard is the soul of FliteTest, but what if you just don't have access to an foamboard source, or it's just too expensive? Running several tests I discovered how to make my own foamboard easy and cheap. :cool::cool::cool: This tutorial is aimed at those who like me do not have access to this...
