Hello! I am looking to build and fly my first rc plane in about 2 months time (April). So any advice on that would be appreciated.
I live in India and I am having a hard time finding paper laminated foam boards. I bought the wrong type of foam boards (just foam without any paper lamination on either sides. I tried cutting and folding it but it just keeps breaking.)
It looks like this:
As you can see, there is no paper lamination on either side,which means I cannot do the special "A" and "B" folds.
I tried mixing white glue with water and pasting brown paper over the foamboard but after drying, the foam board warps (I am guessing it's due to the water. If I don't add water, I cannot peel the foam off the paper to create a groove).
But when I use newspaper instead of brown paper on a smaller piece of foam, the warping reduces a bit. Is there any other material out of which I can build the plane? Please do help me out. Please contact me for any details.
Thankyou.
