Default Glow-powered foamies??

Anyone know of plans available for a glow-powered foamy? I thought I saw one that was a delta-wing design, but I haven't been able to find it.
Thanks

Aren't fuel and foam incompatible?

I believe that foamies came just after electric power, but I may be wrong.

No, as Model Rectifyer Corp. came out with a few in the 1970's.

But "Plans" may be hard to come across. As many foamies are injection moulded today. Would be a chore to construct anything at home then.

I was thinking that Ace used to have a few fuel compatible foam parts.

I have a freind that put an OS 46 ax on a hyperion sniper. He's been flying the wings off of it for about 3 months now and it is a superb flyer.

I have a friend that put an o.s. 46 ax on a hyperion snyper. He's been flying it for about 3 months now and it is a superb flyer. It is however a profile plane. I've also heard of people putting glow engines on the parkzone t-28. I would like to do this one myself but I need to find one that someone has beat and is ready to give it a proper send off if you know what I mean. I can't see buying a new one for an experment. I've got a Norvel 074 or more likely an o.s. 15 I would like to try on one.
