So it looks like FliteTest is phasing out the white foam kits. That's a bummer but not not a huge shock. Still, I'm not a huge fan of the brown stuff. I've had de laminating issues with my one brown FT plane and it's rather labor intensive to paint.
How many people use colored packing tape instead of paint? I can only imagine how much stronger a foamie would be if it were wrapped in a layer of packing tape, but how much weight does it typically add? Though the extra weight could be overcome with more power, but that might not be the best scenario for a mighty mini plane, especially the new SE5 and DR1.
Any wise advice for a newbie foam builder? Thanks
