RE: Fun with Flat Foam
I like it Air4S, except, I think they ripped you off when they sold you that fancy motor mount :D

That's easy, find the 3 view of the Cessna 150, overlay it on the design for the BluBaby, for full fuse, or the STC.

RE: Fun with Flat Foam
Unfortunately I will not be there. Swing by the Hodge Hounds camp, you won't be able to miss it, they've taken over the area just to the left of the store. Tell them I sent you, and that I hate them for having fun without me. They'll laugh, offer you some food, and welcome you in. I promise they'd love to see that nocturnal GeoBat

yeah, Wattflyer's been doing well though, come on over and chat with us. I made most of SEFF, and noticed your presence lacking. More events are on their way though.

[quote]ORIGINAL: beckettrj If ANYONE CAN HELP: I'm STILL looking for a wholesle provider for WHITE Depron (not papered) that is 24in X 48in by 6mm thick... Can't find it anywhere... rcfoam.com didn't have it (though he's still looking in to getting it for me)... [/quote] Rubbing alcohol will make short work of the paper on foam board. I seal several sheets inside a garbage bag with a bottle of rubbing alcohol (also bought at the dollar store) I flip and rotate the bag to make sure they all get wet. Let it set, then remove and let dry. Paper peels off like it was held on with static cling.

Don't let them bully you about HotGlue! I love the stuff. The only time I don't care for it is in the middle of the summer, after leaving a hotglued plane in the car... It tends to fall apart easier when it's been warmed up.

RE: Fun with Flat Foam
That looks like a lot of damage for 8 inches. I am going to guess the wings collapsed. you can remount the motor, and rebuild the wings. try making the chord of the wings a little longer. buy a yard stick, cut it in half the long way. find your dihedral you want, and set your sticks to that angle. then take a section of yard stick maybe 5-6 inches long, and glue it where they meet. do the same on the back, and trim so the top maintains the v. cut these to just under the length of your wing, and glue this so that it's perpendicular to the wing surface, creating a very strong spar.

look into gliders. you can use a cheaper battery, charger, and skip on the speed control and motor.

I've been going over the plans myself. I picked up some more of the little 8Y and 9Y motors at my LHS, and the additional necessary gear. Between my brushed and brushless motors (some of which are from now "rekitted" planes), I can really tick off the GF with the number of planes that can be flight ready...
