<span style="font-size: larger;">@teknicali</span><div></div><div>I'm not sure if you are still monitoring this forum/post but&hellip;</div><div></div><div>It's interesting that you should mention you are looking for a tutorial on how to create foamy fliers because that's exactly what I'm doing. I've done a few builds over the years using the foam gliders you find at an AC Moore or Michaels hobby store. I find it really enjoyable and think it's a great way to "get your learn on" so to speak.A focus of the tutorial is highlighting cost effective methods to build (using common materials like a hot glue gun and packing tape) in ways that don't require a huge amount of prior building experience. Plus, I'm using low cost reusable components you could put into another model in the future.</div><div></div><div>All that said, there's no guarantee that my method is the right method and this is just one persons approach. But that's the fun of building, right!? I'm also trying to make the tutorial generic enough that you could use it for most any foam glider build (small or large size).</div><div></div><div>I'll post a link to the build once it's mid-way&hellip;</div><div></div><div>Cheers!</div><div>_andrew</div>
