Your foam board looks shiny. Is that painted, or do you laminate it. If so, with what product?

Why are gaps bad?

I like some of the concept , but I would build the middle section with the doubler sticking out just an inch or so at each end , thus you can slide it into the rear , gives more glue surface / over lap be stronger , then add rest of doubler to front .. also a couple of weak spring clamps would help hold it while glue cools

Thanks steve!

Amazing work

Excelent

Very helpful. Thanks for the tip.

Interesting, the little model you made with the two piece flap…you could add something similar to the leading edge of a wing too, alter the camber of the wing from flat to highly undercambered for extreme slow flight…an articulated airfoil.

Great video. Very explanative.. I'll have to give this a try on my next foamie. Thanks Steve!

Which glue stick is best for xps foam sheet

Very clever idea for the hinges…neat and strong. Takes a little effort but worth the effort.

Hi this may be fun too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpW3eZ-rf9V-q80

Can I get the measurements for the fuselage and the wing that you use with it

Thanks for the video. Great ideas--very creative!

thats a great jig were can i buy

Thanks for the info!

Great idea for the CF tube hinges.

super clever! Since you can get CF tubes in any milimeter diameter, you could also try drinking straws- plastic or paper. Lots easier to find

Nice project. I live in Portugal and i don't think it is possible to find that foam. Can you please tell me the possible names for that kind of foam? Or even the brands? Thanks

Thank you, this method is half the time, less work, increase accuracy on symmetry, and I happen to have engineer's scales in nearly every drawer in the house :)

Great video, please make more!!! Howard

When your up for trying some amazing super light weight depron foam? See RcDepron.com

Oooh I'm going to try this. Nice! (subscribed)

Been building balsa over fifty years. New to foam board and a LOT cheaper! I started off watching FT videos and doing to "A"-"B" cutouts and stuff. Your folding technique is FAR superior! I'm wondering if we can't come up with a tube rolling device to compliment your bar(s)?

An excellent idea my man!

Really like your tool you made from squares to ensure the tubes stay square. Very clever. Subscribed. I can see how leaving the lamination film off so additional foam parts could be glued on would be an effective way to model just about any aircraft known, or imagined with a very effective core inside for RC gear. You are a very clever guy, to say the least.

I have mentioned this in one of your other videos, but Adams Readi-board is notorious for loosing it's paper skins way too easy. Bending the foam is one method to attempt to help keep the paper on, but it is very heavy, so naturally I remove it before starting any construction projects.

The double fold is a good way to make a fast wing since all you need for an airfoil is a spar in the 1/3 of width from the leading edge. Nice break tool idea for creasing foam to control where it will crush in when the foam board is bent. A bit more simple to make than what is normally used in sheet metal forming, but the fancy one looks to be well designed too. Reminds me of some of the basic ideas used in Experimental Airlines videos. As to bends vs glued joints, I prefer the glued joints since the glue bonds the foam parts almost as if a carbon fiber flat was used and stiffens the foam joint a lot, unless you are using a glue that stays soft and flexible more so then polyurethane glues. I tend to use the Gorilla brand glues, both foaming and non-foaming.

Wow, the green label contact cement, which I haven't been able to find. Did you know most glues won't stick to Parchment paper that is used in baking, like cookies and such? It can also withstand temperatures up to the range of 450 F, but it will brown a bit in an oven that high.

Where do I find the templets to make the tubes?

Great video! Excellent way to get a sturdy hinge. Thanks for sharing.

You talk toooooo much

What do you use for laminating? Where do you get it??

Nice and clean hinge. David seems irritatable, maybe needs a nap. Do you wear the mask when flying?

I use paper hinges now but like this better,thanks.

Interesting building technique. I noticed your foam board is shiny. Did you laminate it?

Where is the plane to make!?

Great vids and ideas. Thanks

hello! thanks for sharing this idea! You should make mode videos.

Please, why do you make the fuselage in 3 parts to glue and not in only one ?

Nice video and presentations sir, it's so inspiring me. thx u

How about using plastic straw tubes ?

Awesome idea! Thanks for sharing.

Good info.. Thanks

YA YEEEET

thanks for posting. but no cigar. here are some Commonsense things to consider. at :41, can you spell cf is HEAVY. (so let's use Lots of it, Right at the TAIL. doh.) ever hear of a POPLAR dowel. MOST HARDWARE/variety STORES HAVE SOME. do you not realize how easily one can Make a paper tube, of ANY diameter. but no, let's send off for some PROPRIETARY ones. this full-length piano hinge design is a case of lol OVER-building. it ONLY takes three smallish, hinges to do the job. cheers googletranslate

here are some things to consider. at 1:53, suggest you see my tutorial, regarding why it is CORRECT to mount a clark-y wing, at zero-degrees aoi. at 5:40, are we seeing DOUBLE-thick side panels. if so, YUK. there is a Concept in Correct airframe design. it goes like this. Make Every Component JUST robust ( Heavy ) enough to be Durable. considerable Weight would be 'saved', if some FORMERs were used. the use of formers accommodates the making of several, weight-REDUCING, tape-covered, panel CUTOUTS. it Should be Understood that where panel construction is used, UNLESS steps are taken to Reduce the amount of Mass aft of a model's c-m, the model WILL have a TAIL-HEAVY DOM. this will NEVER change, Unless Mass is REDUCED. if interested, see my tutorials. cheers googletranslate
