Hi All,

I'd like to scratch build a foam 3D plane and am looking for websites on how to do so. Does anyone know of any good sites?

Thanks in advance.

Happy flying,

Jim Prouty

[link=http://www.foamyfactory.com]foamy factory[/link] is best for plans and [link=http://www.fancyfoam.com]fancy foam[/link] is best for packages and planes IMHO. I have Fancyfoam's new pitts and it's awesome.

www.InsaneFoamies.com Has great packages also. Just look at some of the video on the site. Mark Leseberg jr just Incredible!

where to start?!!!!!!!

Most of the stuff I have seen is Depron, though from where, I dont know. Some also uses Fan Fold, but I just prefer Depron

This is the place were I bought foam for my project.

I'm not sure if you know about it, but there is a whole forum on RCU dedicated to electric airplanes. You will find there lots of useful information about building, plans, supplies, motor combination....

For outdoor flying I have yet to see anything better the the Insanefoamies.com planes.

hi guys y think troybuilmodels.com is the best place to go!

Insane Foamies are really expensive for Blucor, not depron. The planes are nice but you are paying a lot of money for Blucor which is really cheap.. But MAN, Mark Leesburg makes them look awfully appealing!!

There is alot of money in carbon in InsaneFoamies kits (flat bar and round) Thats why the higher price, Thats also why Mark loves to fly them. Very fast snaps, ect. Option to have depron coming soon, Removable landing gear coming soon. Katana kit almost out and combos now available with hardware kit(including carbon pushrods)and all electronics! More great video of Mark Leseberg jr flying with some in the pitch black night doing Rolling circles. Website being worked on now and lots more to come so check it out. www.InsaneFoamies.com
