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 anything yet, as it's quite expensive). I think that, quickly looking at the shipping costs at USPS, the total (including product and shipping) for 50 sheets would come to somewhere between $150 and $200.
Although 3-4 us $ (or €2 - €3) might seem a lot for one sheet, it still is better than €6 per sheet (current rates show that we'd have to pay between €112.50 and €150 for a full 50 sheets, instead of (less than) 20).
To make this possible, we need someone in the US, who is willing to pick them up, and send them on their way. I intend that the person sending it were to receive all costs (or more) in return, preferably prior to the purchase, because it'd be a bad idea to have the handling person spend the money, and have an uncertainty on their money return.
This is just an idea, please do not hate, and support if possible.
By the way, I saw a thread on RCGroups (not to send anyone over to look for it), made by ExperimentalAirlines (or Ed), concerning a possible foam-board subdealer for the RC community (he might give it a shot).
