Dear Josh, Alex, Jeremy, Stefan, Mattie, and all the other crew members,
I recently built a mighty mini sportster and was really excited to see how the new makerfoam preformed. I had already scratch built a mini scout out of elmers foam and flown that. Now, my scout has already seen some abuse and the foam is just dinged up a bit. I have not even flown the sportster yet but it is already delaminating!!! Maybe it was a bad batch. In that case I am sorry for this post. It was hard to build in some places (bevels were hard because no matter how sharp the knife was the paper just wanted to come off) and the foam just wasn't very good. I have built the simple cub and the p40 out of the old brown FliteTest foam and they were wonderful. I just want to ask to bring back the old foam or find a better foam (or fix the makerfoam). Until then I will be scratch building. I love FliteTest and will continue to buy from you.
