I'm making a foamy electric pusher F-18 from plans by 3d Foamy. I have full 
size templates I downloaded and printed out to use when cutting fan fold foam. 
What's the best template material in terms of a workable compromise between 
workability, durability, accuracy and cost? I think PC board material would be 
overkill, it's only blue foam, even if I make three sets of spares, I think 
it's going to be used for all of an hour to make up all the components, but 
should the worst happen, I guess I would have them on file to pull out, but not 
often. Then there's the remote possibility friends might wanna use them too... 
pretty remote, as I have so few friends;-)   I was thinking of using the rolled 
coiled metal flashing common in roof and gutter repair, or maybe just cheap 
balsa sheet (not contest grade or even any particular grain), with plumbers 
tape 
run around the edges or something?  The wing is a flat plate, the fuse shapes 
are all pretty square, this "should" be a simple process...
