Default RE: Fun with Flat Foam

Very nice set of plans. Might be a good one to attempt this winter, for me.

Found a sheet of what appears to be Depron, laminated on each side with hard clear plastic, in the dumpster.
Built a quasi Mugi out of it. How tough is the foam? Took 6 launches and 6 nose dives, as in looking like a quivering stop sign, before I realized the prop was on backwards. All it ended up with was some grass stains.

Next up, over the weekend I built an F4U Corsair. Boy the wing was a bear to get right and make it strong. I'll post some pics later, still have to paint and finish the electronic install.
