Foamboard Building Techniques: Tape Covering The Foamboard

Part 1. An easy and economical method of building an actual airfoil for an RC airplane wing out of inexpensive foamboard, hot glue, and packing tape. Almost as easy to make and much better lift and stall characteristics than a KF or flat-plate wing. This is just the wing construction - overall airplane design is up to the builder! I hope to see some innovative airplanes using this wing design.

EA, we have at least two things in common, we love RC'in and we both have a toy haulin RC building man cave...am I right? I own a 28ft pull behind Tahoe by Thor that I had used for about a year to do my RC thing in and loved it. If I'm not mistaken at 3:25 in your vid I am looking at the door to the front master suit. It's a small world after all for sure. I love your finishing touch attention to details...really nice work.

I do like your canard design...smooth control. How did you find it's CG.

@MrWest1960 Good eye! You are right on - it's a 24" Rage'n parked in the sideyard, formerly so lonely for being underused now used daily for building since I got into RC.

I can't post a URL to the CG calculator but I put the link in the notes. It's worked flawlessly for me so far. Build one!

In my case, I used a very light spray of (red) flouresent paint (canned) directly onto the foam of a RTF model I have. Then used thicker fibreglass (self-adhesive) tape, clear.

Good info.

You save us alot of time because we would have alot of trial and error to get where you are...thanks

Seriously, this is so far the best and most educational channel I've ever seen. BTW I've been in the field of RC for 3 years already. Please keep up the good job! Bob Ma

U are very good teacher! Thanks.

pls let me know which material is this, as i cant find it here, pls email deatils at ahash04@yahoo.com if possible.

I want part 5! I want too see how your joining multiple sections together or 2 piece wing. I'm currently building a Carbon fibre boom FPV plane and came across your video, I have depron so I'll be making my wing 2 piece each 60CM long by 21CM cord straight as in your own video.
