I also copied the list of material to RC files. I wanted the list to send to some of our members who are interested in the foamies. I maintain these are "AWESOME" flyers for the money! I sure love the ones I got from your workshop! See you saturday

Ron, even if they cost 4 times the amount (airframe materials that is) it would still be worth every penny!

It is summer and I get about 6 flights minimum with mine outside or in the shop! Can't put the thing down! Maybe after I fly the 40%er I will forget all about the foamy but I bought it! lol..

Re: Blue Foamie Building Thread

Hi everyone

I made a few changes to the list of materials and the building thread.

1: you can use 2.5mm. fiberglass rods for the leading edge instead of carbon fiber, it's much cheaper and is just as good, we have tested it for a while.

2: a drop of hot glue near the end each axle works just as well as the tubing.

3: it seems that the glue gun works better on the "low" setting
