Hey guys,
Im interested in getting some opinions on Officeworks Foam Board for FliteTest designs? I am considering building the Masters Series P47, and interested in finding the perfect foamboard in Australia. I understand that the OfficeWorks stuff is incredibly heavy, but it is just so convenient! If I do end up going for the OfficeWorks board, will it make the P47 too heavy?
Any input would be appreciated,
Thanks.


(I am aware of the other threads that answer similar questions, although I am looking for responses specific to the Officeworks stuff)

unless someone here is familiar, i would try to find the weight and compare it. weight is a big issue in model airplane flight performance

You can successfully use the heavier board, back in the early days some people used Elmers which is similar. Issues were generally building tail heavy and needing more power/thrust, bigger holes for through parts.. I would suggest building a very slow stick, glider, or similar as a test bed demonstration.
