Help! HELP WITH A HIGH SPEED SPEEDWING

[Zoom Master]

We want to break the foamboard record which is 175mph.

Yeah it seems like its made out of foamboard just without the paper covering....

We want to break the DTFB or FTFB record. (DTFB= dollar tree foam board, ftfb= Flite test foam board) Which is 175, maybe one day I’ll try for 250, but it’d be pricey…

True going faster is very pricy but going 200 mph shouldn't be that expensive or that hard......

No it's very hard and takes a lot of skill. But yeah, it's still easier that 250mph😂

@Mr Man and @Houndpup Rc is there a way to be able to get a glossy smooth paint job that looks something like this on a foamboard airplane ?

Minwax will help…. But not quite as nice

Ill just go with the white packaging tape method.

What is it? I’m starting to figure it out myself with plywood, but don’t have any planes for it yet. (Like The Sharknado)

There are 3 methods that I have found....first one is a plywood in the middle of the wing and the second method is using some carbon rods and rubber bands and the last one is using these things at the end of the wings
