decompressing a foam plane is as easy as putting hot water on it and it expands back to original shape

I wish that were true.... I have a bunch where this failed...

I would have to say my biggest dislike is the people that use these forums to promote hatred and discord with their acidic remarks. I like RCU and RCG because I love this hobby and have learned a lot from them. 48 years in the hobby and still more new stuff to learn and experience! When the ''trolls'' come out I wish they would quit posting their negative attitudes and go attend a therapy session or something like it.

Here, here!

No negative posts about negative posts!!!!!!

Beer coolers = Cheap.

Foam planes = Expensive foam.

Now if we could make our beer coolers fly, I'm all in!

And you have to admit that there is nothing worst than a beer that is not cold! Long live the foam!

I know his is not a forum for deep thought, but what do they pack styrofoam with when they ship it?

But before we make the beer coolers fly, we must empty the beer out...somehow!!

Liquid Sheeting II over foam or balsa.

Check it out: http://www.wowplanes.com/product_inf...0d920a3221431a
That looks quite interesting...

I have a foam Sapac L-39 that could use that.

Of course in reality if you go THAT far, you may as well just avoid foam ( and the extra work ) too...

Sapac has a nice L-39 in Fiberglass of exactly the same size as the foamy... though it requires a bit more power... Wonderful plane BTW...

I'm against NASCAR as well. What a disgrace to our society. Want an example.......look at the unnecessary noise these races make. And we're concerned about the noise at our flying fields....Let me get this straight....they run restrictor carb plates to slow the cars down and straight exhaust....for what reason??????? Why not muffler the cars, keep them quiet and probably slow them down a little to boot. Bonus. Better yet...just desolve the series. Let's all watch Supercross!!!!!!!!!

I hate rap, I hate rap
Couldn't drive me crazier with a map
Talk about a generation gap
I don't turn my cap, I don't grab my lap
I don't do like that 'cause I look like a sap
I hate rap, I hate rap
And it don't go good with beer on tap
I hate the beat, hate the rhythm
But I love that melody they put with 'em

I hate rap, I hate rap
One nerve left and it's about to snap
I'd rather hear a little Chihuahua yap
I don't walk that walk, I don't flap that flap
If I talked that talk my lips would chap
I hate rap, I hate rap
And it don't go good with beer on tap
I hate the beat, hate the rhythm
But I love that melody they put with 'em

it's china's ideal of what we want as rc modelers.....and that's what sells today in this "buy & fly" era.

RE: Please, dear God, make them stop!
 
Nah...

It's that a factory which produces foamies, can also produce other products and retool easily... ( foam is cheap to make & form ).

Balsa, fiberglass or composite, Arf manufacturing is not highly automated and requires a lot of manual labor.

If the market tanks, the ARF company has no other revenue stream and withers away.

STOP ARF's!

Gonna be honest here,

Having purchased a few, I have had nothing but grief from them.
Worse still is the new "throwaway" attitude, and ignorance towards building in general.

A Play By Graeme

Act 1:
<u>Fred</u> "Oh no, I punched a hole inmy wing covering! Whatshall I do?"
<u>Joe</u> "That's un-repairable. You had better go out and buy a new one."

Act 2:
<u>Jim</u> "Oops, I crashed my model"

*Walks up to debris field, splintered model airplane everywhere*

<u>Bill</u> "Where are all of those little pieces of wood from?"
<u>Jim</u> "Wood? I thought model airplanes were made of foam!"

*Jim Turns on Rap music*

Nascar is bad but Le Mans is where it is at

I really like ARFs. I have just enough attention span to assemble an ARF. After a few weeks (making modifications, substituting parts, etc) of assembly I'm done, and I want to fly.
I'm not afraid to remove covering and repair or rework. I don't have enough space to leave a kit out on a table for months at a time without something getting lost or damaged.

I respect and appreciate kits, but I truly enjoy a quality ARF.

Now, Nascar... I'm not a fan (but I don't hate it either) but if we could get those boys to run on some kind of renewable fuel, it could have a pretty major impact on our environment and economy.

And rap? Well, nothing good to say there.[:'(]

Oh gosh no.
Nascar, Country + western music, Rap, muscle cars + pickup trucks...Gah!

I'd take:
Top Gear, The Beatles, Beethoven, Fiat 500's + Arial Atom's...

Mind you, that is my opinon...

Foamies are junk because they're not pretty????????
Pretty planes usually don't fly as well, junk in my eyes.
Emabarrased to show up at the field with a beater plane??????
I feel sorry for you.

Rap ain't music, it's like listening to some evil ba$tard torturing a cat. Foam, on the other hand, serves several good uses, but making an airplane out of it isn't one of them...
