Foamboard building tutorials.

Found this for making nice uniform trailing edges on foam board. Any chance the mods can make this thread a sticky so that others can add handy methods to produce better foam models?

I think I prefer Richards method neat and easy, and it does not take days. My foam board model wings are similar to Flite test and fly great, as they are just flown on the club field they are what they are. For all other models I take the time to bring them to a higher standard, I will try to build a foam board model to look as good as a balsa build as soon as the flying season is over and the long nights return.

On top of every post there is a time stamp.

 

In this case

right click on the time stamp (42 minutes ago) or whatever it is now.

 

A menu pops up, right click until it does.

Click Copy Link.

 

Then paste into the editor box, right click Paste.

 

 

Easy. It was for me after the first few failures.
