Do these come in any sizes larger than 10 diameter. Most wings are approx 10 chord, so something larger would be required. Here are some that will work if you have 3 panel wings.. max length 46 to 50 http://www.exploreproducts.com/skbgolfclubcase4913.htm

Re: [RCSE] Elapor Foam Question

2008-03-02 Thread aero22
You can use regular spray paint on elapor. Put the first coats on lightly and let them dry. It won't melt the foam, but a really wet coat may soften it a bit. It's a great plane, better than the first version except for the dihedral, they could have left that out... I made the tail section
