Would you mind listing the pluses and minuses of a foam wing as apposed to a built up one.
Not ever having done foam im curious. I see they are faster but what are the other comparisons ?
Also, do you have a preference ?
Thanks,

Kevin, here is why a foam core wing is so nice.
1. It is very easy and quick to build. You could literally build a wing in one day, sheeted and all. You can't do that with built up.
2. Control surfaces are easyer and faster to do.
3. Very durable during construction/ sanding.
4. Very strong and durable, not going to punch a hole threw it.
5. Foam builds very strait and trew, holds it's shape.
6. Light weight in construction.
These are just a few advantages.
Limitstions would be wings with wash and warpage are hard to manufacture (cut).
Hard to use in complicated wing designs like a corsair wing.
I like this this kit becouse it is a very quick build with endless possibility in scale detail.
