foamboard

Hi, This has no doubt been answered before but I can't find another post! Before I go and buy a bunch of Foam Board I want to check if anyone has used 3mm Foam Board before. On Amazon UK there seems to be options for 5mm and 3mm, 3mm could be good thanks to the weight saving but I would be...

Hey all, I was curious if anyone had any ways to get a cylindrical fuselage made out of foam board. I'm sure I could make a ton of score lines and get a pretty close shape but has anyone gotten a good shape without making a bunch of cuts? My reasoning behind this is i'd like to take a stab...

This is partially in response to the speed-build kits: I've wanted to build scratch-build several airframes, especially the FT swappables. I have bought foam-board (quite similar in dimensions to the readi-boards), but at 60+ euros for 10 sheets, it's quite expensive (I haven't started making...

If it snows where you live and you like scratchbuilding foamies then this is for you. Have a look, enter a plane if you can, but at least stay tuned for some good snow plane ideas and interesting adventures. Experimental Airlines

Hello. I recently built Ed's Axon from ExperimentalAirlines (Axon video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKh1gjmTKvw) out of Dollar Tree foamboard and it was my first plane so I crashed it and bashed it a few times and now I am working on repairing it and modifying it to my liking. One thing I...

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows of any UK equivalents to that Dollar Tree paper backed foam board? I'd love to get building some scratch builds, but I'm not sure on what's the nearest equivalent over here in England Many thanks in advance!

Here is a challenge to take foamboard scratchbuilding techniques to the maximum: HUGE WINGSPAN! I've created a contest for building the largest wingspan scratchbuilt foamboard RC airplane using the Armin Wing airfoil technique and capable of controlled electric-powered flight for 60 seconds...

Hey I have always wanted a Zagi but there to much money. Are there others? Are they cheaper? Also I found this http://www.instructables.com/id/Duct-Tape-RC-Plane/ Any tips on this type of build? Is there an easier way to do this? I have the parts already bought but I want your input on this...

I have produced a series of 20 how-to videos detailing some of the construction techniques I've found useful in working with "Dollar Tree Foamboard" (actually Readi-Board by RL Adams Plastics). I would like to share them here. The idea of the video series is to show ways you can create and...
