RE: Building foam core wings
I appreciate your valued opinion. One last question...........I'll be using a vacuum bagging system for the first time. To the best of your knowledge, other than pulling a maximum of 7", would you agree that most all of the steps still apply?
Thank you

RE: Building foam core wings
****sheee,
That tutorial is excellent. I built a model called "Tinamou" that's a large flying wing. The results were excellent! I wrote a review for Radio Controlled Soaring Digest (RCSD), you can find a link to the article at www.TailwindGliders.com
Since then I've found many folks who had questions on how to Cut Foam Wings and Vacuum Bag them. I felt their pain as it seemed there wasn't any one source that would guide the user through the processes in a timely fashion. So during the the last cold Montana winter I did just that.
"A Beginner's Guide to Cutting and Bagging Foam Wings"
The reviews have been excellent, see the "Testimonials" page on my website.
If you need any help during your build please don't hesitate to send an email or post.
Have fun!
