Hi Art

As I mentioned earlier, I built and flew a Foamy made with Greenguard, I'm sorry to tell you that this stuff is too brittle, if you try to bend it it'll break right away, if you don't touch anything it'll be fine, If I was that good I wouldn't need tough foam, I'd use Depron.
I was waiting to get some Owens Corning fanfold when I go to the Soo next weekend from Cec Marshall and from Lock City building Materials but Dan from Cambrian gave me a piece yesterday at the GWN minifunfly. I couldn't build a plane with it because it was too narrow but this material looks even better than Dow's blue Fanfold, it seems to have the same characeristics but slightly thinner, could end up a bit lighter.
I'm hoping to build a pink foamy as soon as I come back from the Soo funfly next weekend, I'll keep everyone posted, it looks very promising.
Art, if you were asking about the decals on my Sbach, I make them with my laser printer.
