I wanted to share just a little flight tip. So to all who are building flitetest planes with Adams foamboard ( those of us who have it in out country ) here is a little trick i wanted to try out this week. Ok so i crash ALOT due to the fact that im not that great at this flying thing YET. So all the planes i crash seem to crush in the wings. well ive solved my problem with spray foam. Its cheap, Light and they sell it everywhere. so i pumped some into my Versa wing and go it in the air. I crashed it like always, But this time it didnt Distroy the wing. IT BOUNCED :) so this is part one of the two i plan to post. I build the ibcrazy specter and LOVE it BUT i crashed and Broke the wing. I FIXED THAT LOL. HERE SHE IS.
I poked some holes and filled it up. what I couldnt get from the wing tip.
The Spray foam is Sandable and you can paint it . Next artical i will post a flight video my order should be here next week. Questions comments welcome.
I experimented with putting expanding foam into plastic soda bottles. Worked great, but the foam seems to eventually break down for some reason. I think it's the lack of air so it never cures properly. But that was with plastic, not foam board. I also tried poking a bunch of air holes into a bottle, but the foam eventually contracted from the edges. But I used the Great Stuff Large Gap Filler. Not the stuff you used. (Same brand, different formula.)
I just want to give the caution that this might not work as well for every one, or for every time, as it worked for you. I also wouldn't be surprised if the expanding foam eventually breaks down making you regret spraying it in. The stuff can't handle a beating as well as foam board can.
