I've been flying rc for more than 10 years now, but over the last couple of months, I have been experimenting with techniques typically used with balsa wood free-flight models, but substituting the balsa wood with foam. It's actually cheaper than bui...
Howdy,
I can't seem to find any references anywhere to what diameter foam board people are using. To me, the 5mm board looks too thick and would add a lot of weight, but then I'm not sure if the 3mm is strong enough.
