Default RE: Foam Kit Building

Try Foam and Brown Paper. This is stronger and stiffer than tape. See http://www.rcgroups.com/links/index.php?id=3544

for a good "how to" article.

Nearly everybody in the UK uses this method. Mainly Models do several kits which provide a good starter but lots of the guys cut their own. The TA 152 can be covered in paper but it is a long thin wing and although strong enough, I glass mine now. The Fuz is papered.

Here are some before and after shots. Everything flew again some on the same day! 5 minute epoxy is wonderful!
