Re: Big Blue Foamie Tomahawk, nice job on the model. Like the artwork on the front.... Hummmm, maybe I'll copy this on my Bristol. Are you gusy still above water?? Quite the storm that blew through here last night, but I think London escaped the worse.. Wonder if Gaston is still above sea level, ha ha.. |

Not sure of the next plane I plan on building out of foam but it is nice to have the thicker stuff available locally if I wish to build bigger. Here is a seaplane I recently finished out of the thinner blue fanfold. If you want to see how it flies go to the float flying thread I posted. https://www.rccanada.ca/rccforum/showthread.php?t=148177 Back to Gaston's big blue foamy discussion. Chris |

Re: Big Blue Foamie I guess I should add, I built mine out of 2 sheets of 2; X 8'.... and, all in one part for the fuse.... See photo.. You have to make a joint in the horizontal portion of the fuse/wing.. I used Carpenters glue and it holds like "Iron".... My "Pumpkin Pimples" has had over ten flights now, no more since the rotten weather has come back tho... saving it for next years outdoors... Am also in the process of building a Bristol M1C, the same way I built the sBach..... Three cheers for 1/2" blue foam!!! A. |

Re: Big Blue Foamie Hey Chris, tried to send a message yesterday but, guess RCC had some problems and I couldn't get back in... Anyway, 1/2" Blue foam is available here in London, either at Rona, on Commissioners at Highbury, or, Lowes at Hyde Park and Fanshawe.. I paid 7 bucks for my 2' X 8' sheets, ea.... The four by eights are aruond the 13 buck figure, and harder to get into a car trunk!!!! Anyway, try Rona or Home Depot or Lowes... Art. |

I'm using 1/2 in Dow Styrofoam from Lowe's and also available at other building material stores in Canada and the U.S. Let me know how you make out. |

Re: Big Blue Foamie Hi Gaston: I have gone through this thread and couldn't find where you sourced your foam. I saw Hank's larger Sbach the other day and was wondering if the 1/2" blue foam is available in Canada or is it like the Dow blue fanfold and only available in the States? Thanks Chris |

Re: Big Blue Foamie That would be very nice, how about meeting me in Cobourg for lunch Oct 10, I'll be there for the day. I also have to go to Markham on the 14th and Toronto on the 15th for meetings, also in October. |
