Hi everyone,

I want to Form a narcelle cowl for a scratch build 1/6 scale DH2. I found a lot of Videos on youtube about vacuum forming and have already build a vacuum box. Which plastic is best for forming a cowl in terms of stiffness and weight? What is the maximal tickness to get a positive result?
Best regards,
Andreas
That depends on the size of your plug, I typically would use .030 for small parts or .040 for larger parts
