Is hot glue ok to use?
Hey guys so I need a nice little setup for an indoor gym to do some 3Ding. Preferably a small foamie that can glide real nice and do some easy hovers. Oh and im running a Ar6100 for the Dx7.
I would also like to know if hot glue is ok to use on these builds?
Thanks.

Yes it can be use on some foam and it does hold well. BUT it can be heavier than foam safe CA and every little bit makes a lot of difference for those little indoor planes. See how the pro ones fly at about a <5* angle of attack? Most of ours are more than 5*. Need to keep her light.

There are two types of hot glue, that use different glue sticks. In most cases, the regular hot glue is too hot and will slightly melt the foam. Go with the lower wattage hot glue gun, and make sure you get the lower wattage glue sticks.
