I've done the same (pink foam and West Systems) from my local building supply. I flew in KR Kip's KR2 years ago and it was completed in 1985 with pink foam and is still flying today. I hot wired (albeit poorly in my kr-youth) my empenage and power sanded my turtledecks with great success.
BTW, I managed to pick up a case for a small 9 cylinder radial engine. Its about 14 inches in diameter. I'm bringing it into work to see if we can manage to whip up a 9 cylinder 2 stroke radial. An engine guy at work thinks we can get close to a couple hundred horsepower for under 200 lbs.

So far so good!
