Old and Bold RC PILOT
I have observed a number of complaints over the last year in relation to the difficulty some are having with foamboard supplies and quality in Australia.
There have also been a few interesting designs and solutions posted.
This thread is to try and help share experiences and supply sources to allow us to spend more time flying than at the workbench.
As for myself I have secured a source of foamboard locally from of all things an Art shop where it is used for backing in the framing of photographs and paintings.
The material is acid free and meant to be stable in long term usage. I doesn't like water though.
The sheet size is approximately twice that of the DTFB and is available in 5mm and 3mm thicknesses.
I am in Brisbane, retired, and RC planes is about all I do now. If I can help I will and if I can't help then hopefully someone else can.
