Default RE: One Design Build
Thanks Gene. My first foam rib build was a Urley Lazer, the plans a showed a geared .60 glow motor for power, the plane was designed in 1981.

Here the wing socket holes are cut with the hot wire. The bow is homemade powered by a low voltage lighting transformer. The wire is .025" steel MIG wire, nothing fancy.

In my opinion foam rib wings are lighter than foam, cheaper than balsa, and build straight. They do however take more time, but that's why I build.
