Default RE: New plane out of foam

Sorry it took me couple days to get the pics up but life gets in the way occasionally.

It's comin out pretty neat but I think I'll never hit the weight I wanted.
I think it'll still fly nice enough though.
I'm kinda guessin it'll be a easy flyin plane with some aerobatic ability in a limited way.
(which by the way is probably ok with me)
I got the balsa glued into the trailing edges I just gotta decide wether to use solid balsa or foam for the control surfaces.
I think I'm gonna cover it with newspaper and thinned wood glue. I think structurally it's strong enough it's just that every time ya grab it a little to hard the stuff dents. Plus I spose it'll make it look better with a little color. (I'm gonna find some COLOR funny pages.)
