Default RE: What 3DFoamy to start with?

G-Day Mate
my first foamy i got some plans from a mate and went and got them blown up to the size i needed and printed off.
then i braught some 6mm depron foam of the internet http://www.depron-australia.com/
and cut out the plane out of 2 of those sheets glued it together with 5min epoxy foam safe CA is recomended but before i glued it i reinforced it with carbon rods along the LE of the wing and a spar through the guts of the wing then i spraypainted it in bright fluo colers but in a series of very very light coats so the foam dosent react.
i think you can find the plans on the net
it is best to set up these plans as light as posible to get the slow and low type flying i use a 350mah 11.1 lipo with mine and the whole plane ways 650 grams
have fun mate and happy flying
