Let us know what you build.

Hi all, I found a good source of light foam. The Dollar Tree has sheets of 5mm foam that is really lite. I use it to make a bunch of flatouts, deltas. and pbf. Heres a few vids of them. I used a 850kv outrunner, 18a esc, 10x4.7, 7.4 800mah. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guAoPQbjhLQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXKzwpCokq0
That plane was made out of 1 sheet of foam. All the gear came out of a parkflyers gebee 3d.

I finally decided to paint a foamie...... This is a $15 combat plane I got at a show......
I made the decals on the computer.
Now if it will just survive a lil while [>:]

Let me guess, you're planning on playing the "bad guy"

Pecanpatch

You going to SEFF?
Ill b there fri-sat....

Jumper, any tips for making the Revert motor edition? Looks real nice, I tried making the Revert glider but... didn't do so good. Should get my newest plane idea up on here. I got a boatload of foamcore on vacation (pieces of the HIGH DENSITY! stuff). Should make some sweet planes.

Unfortunately I will not be there.

Swing by the Hodge Hounds camp, you won't be able to miss it, they've taken over the area just to the left of the store.

Tell them I sent you, and that I hate them for having fun without me.

They'll laugh, offer you some food, and welcome you in.

I promise they'd love to see that nocturnal GeoBat

calvino, the acft is sooooooooooo simple that any tips have probably been given in previous posts. One challenge will be in getting the cg far enough forward. You can see from my photos how electronics were kept as forward as possible. One tip that might not have been given, is the motor. It cost only ~$20.

The motor mount is a sandwich. From bottom up: ply, Depron, Depron, ply, 3M double sided tape, and motor. All of this is cinched down tightly with two zip ties. The motor sinks or is drawn down into the 3M tape. This simple and easy to make mount is STRONG.

Other versions of this motor may be had for other projects. For instance, I have used them on Strykers with good results. Stryker with similar motor mount is shown.

wazzup Calvino?
long time not chat [:@]

I took my 6 year old slow-stik to an indoor fly - in last saturday....
I trimmed it out so good , I set the Transmitter on the floor and we all watched it make three or four 360° turns at about 5' off the ground b4 I gave up.... it was amazing......

calvino

Thanks for the tips. Shure is one cool plane, keep on trying to find something that works better than my slow stick (for speed) at making an AV. In a little competition against my friends about 45+ MPH rc car... so want to pass that thing on cam . Penpach, got AIM?

Pecanpatch

I had a Blast at SEFF (Hodges Hobbies) last saturday.
55 combat planes in a mass launch.... FUN FUN FUN
Gotta love DSM

I lasted a pretty good while b4 T-boning this guys balsa plane
I cut him in half but couldn’t get away from him. Till it hit the ground

My plane was still flyable.

It was the coolest combating I have ever done, Bravo!
Cant wait till next time.

guys im looking for a cessna 150/152 plans for a profile foam rc airplane ive been searching the web for a couple years now trying to find somehing of the sort can anyone let me know if they come accross something that would be helpful to me?

photohikedive

That's easy, find the 3 view of the Cessna 150, overlay it on the design for the BluBaby, for full fuse, or the STC.

ntjp2005

I found this plan for a Cessna some time back... Hope it helps
I found it at MidwestProducts.com, this is the link. It is a free PDF download

im also looking for some models that might be easier to find stuff on so again any help is appreciated im looking for a flat foam citibria and a me 109 and an f-190 so if anyone has any good flat foam plans of these please let me know thanks

Garrett1234567

Hi guys, Ive been using flat foam for a while building 3d planes, but here lately ive been makinf flat foam edf jets. Heres a video of my f22 64mm 3500kv brushless outrunner 30 amp esc cheap rtf rx/tx. It flys great. I made a second one and painted it, ill get some pics as soon as i get my cammera back. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_qrb...eature=channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZACf...e=channel_page

Teenage Pilot 14

Anyone want a really, really nice flying flat foam delta-wing jet? This evolved from an earlier version with thick foam; the new one's made of 5mm foamcore. I have no pics yet but the measurements are enough to build from. I've got a very crude MS Paint drawing which may help for now.

I'm running mine with a 1500kV outrunner and a 7x7 wood tractor prop at about 310-330W on a 1300mAh 25C 3S lipo. 75, perhaps 80mph top speed with almost unlimited vertical. It'll slow down nicely for landing, too, and it's pretty aerobatic. Pics hopefully soon.......

calvino

Nice work there Beaver... keep up the $1 planes.... its called experimenting. Heck, the Wright Bro's took a long time before we got airborne

F-16 Skywalker

Haven't been on this thread in a while. here is my latest flat foam project, my own design. 70mm DF 14.8v 20c 4s lipo 850watts.

gtrScotty

Cool thread ! nice stuff!
Here's one of my creations. I call it Simplicious. Its 22" ,2mm dep, no carbon, 4.65oz with a GS 18-15-25/2000kv, 6x4 apc, t-bird9 esc, TP ProLite V2 250 3s., Spektrum rec., and 3 JR S185 servos for elevons and rudder. It actually snaps and spins like crazy if you want to. you can make all the parts out of one sheet of depron.
I thought if a guy covered one with tape it'd be good for combat?!... or make one 25% bigger-27.5", out of coroplast!! LOL!!

Anyway, its really fun,..Enjoy!!!

Here some pictures and a link to a video of my Foam Profile B-58 Hustler. She flies great and looks fantastic in the sky. She is made from a 2'x4'x1/2" sheet of foam insulation from HomeDepot. Too much fun.

Here is the YouTube link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt8XHpIa9Hs

I like it Air4S, except, I think they ripped you off when they sold you that fancy motor mount

Pretty chilly in TX the last several days, so I have been doing some building with flat foam. Here are the two latest planes.
