Hi all,
I live in the Gauteng Province of South Africa, in the Cradle of Humankind world heritage Site.
My current list of hobbies / interests:
So my ADHD self decided i needed a new challenge! Was originally looking for an electric assisted Glider build, but then discovered Flite Test! Which seems to tick a lot of boxes for me: Self built, cheap, repairable, extendable. ( and i get to buy myself a brand new RC Transmitter )
Only challenge seems to be finding a local brand name equivalent or alternative to the FOAM BOARD as used by flite test.
One Question.....
Is the Paper backing / coating necessary for strength, or can judicious amounts of Glue, Tape etc. work for securing uncoated foam boards?
