foamboard

Frustrated at keeping a consistent depth, I decided to make a tool that would hold a razor blade at the perfect angle. Works very well, might make one for making edge bevels. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2158247

This was my first foamboard FT build (I have an electrohub copter awaiting completion), and so my technique isn't as polished as J. Bixler, but I managed to get it built, in only twice the estimated time! :) I took her out on her maiden today, still need a little tuning. I set my rate a bit low...

After buying loads of foamboard from various companies in the UK, trying to find one that is as light as DTF and has a paper surface that peels like DTF, and is relatively cheap, I have to admit, I've failed. However, the last box I bought is the closest so far. It is lighter than most, the...

It seems that finding nice flat foamboard is pretty rare, but I've come up with a nifty solution. Buy a full case of twenty-five sheets, and when you get home take out every other sheet, turn it around, and put it back in the same "slot" it came from. Now the warps are working against each...

So like many others after drooling over how easy flitetest makes scratch build look, I decided to ripe apart some 10+ year old planes, and a few trips to Amazon, and had everything I needed. I started building my plan and when I tried to make my first bevel cut, it looked like I tossed it to a...

Hello everyone, i've been searching for a solution of the lack of foamboard in EU and i've been wanting a great source. I have found one but i don't have any experience with this company, if i buy some of this stuff i'll definitely post my experiences in the comments. for anyone who is...

Hi Again Still loving the FT Flyer however...... With UK Foamboard, mine are gradually evolving from the light, indoor, floaty planes shown in the Original FT video, to heavier, more powerful planes. Certainly not indoor flyers any more. Number 10 is almost completed......It starts here...

I've been practicing a lot on the simulators, because of winter, and I've gotten good at the 3D planes. I want get a real life counterpart, and I have a lot of spare parts and foamboard. Anybody have any designs for a profile or foamie 3D airplane that I can make out of foamboard? I know there's...

This build was inspired by @foamandtape Cargo Commander and the rest of the Flitetest crew. They inspired me to get into the hobby this past year and I went from not being able to fly at all to doing 3D with the Guinea Pig. This will be my first and surely not last scratch build. I'm hoping to...

I love all the swappable designs for their ingenuity but the huge drawback is its durability against moisture. I'm sure that I'm not alone and, like Josh and Chad suggested in the past, I have had moderate success treating the paper of the foam board with Minwax Polyurethane. It's a great...

I've been building my own planes for roughly a year and a bit, and in that time I've used both Coroplast and Foamboard, and I have to say, I love Coroplast. I seem to encounter issues with Foamboard, such as warping, and water damage when landing on wet grass, and yes, these issues can be...

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...

First off a little background information: As you could already tell from from my name, my favorite aircraft of all time is the Beechcraft Baron G58 and I have been desperately tried to find any kind of easy to build (or to buy) foamie models of this beauty. Unfortunately, the only ones I could...

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...

I used Elmer's Foamboard to make my FT Flyer and FT Bloody Wonder. How much will the extra weight hurt me as I'm learning to fly? Each sheet of Elmers weighs approximately 8 ounces versus 4 ounces for Adam's foam board. Double the weight means double the required lift - so does that mean I'm...

This is an overview of a Spectre pusher made from foam board and a variety of other materials using tips and techniques I have learned from Flitetest and beyond. Enjoy.

Hey Guys, In this Thread I'd like to share with you my latest project, the RST Hunter. This Design is a Pusher with a V-Tail to reduce the weight a little bit in the back section and I just wanted it to try out! I've allready made 2 Pusher Desings. The V2 was actually quite a success, but it...

Hey Guys, since Podcast #49 I´m really excited since Josh announced, that Flitetest will be selling DTF as Flitetest Foamboard. They want to sell it with various distributers. So comparable with the HK Warehouses you can order from a place nearby you (all around the world). This would be real...

What kind of material is it and where to buy such material (possibly in Europe - Czech Republic) for it for such nice strach build planes, please?
