SPAD Techniques
Is there a book or website where all the SPAD forming and gluing techniques are described, so I do not have to go through a hundred discussions?

Re: SPAD Techniques
Spad to the bone, and maybe Spadworld. Score, fold, clean, torch and woodpecker, glue spar, then glue trailing edge pretty much is what they say. Glues seem to be in order of preference, CA, PU, and then maybe contact cement or hot glue.

Re: SPAD Techniques
I found this site an interesting read, since cardboard has some similarity to coro.

Re: SPAD Techniques
I have seen this cardboard article before. I still spent an hour reading it again. I remember reading a Bamboozle article from an older 1960's Magazine article which I thought was cool in the 1980's. I made a coro combat based on that for control line then and still fly it now. I had to replace the nylon control horn because it got brittle from old age and broke in a 'crash'. Pretty tough plane.
