thank you for your comment on my latest video.. I really appreciate your advices.. but my problem is as you can see,, that all my planes are seems to get stacked when they hit the wall.. is it because I use 2.4mm rubber instead of 1.6 one?
+Firman Hakiki In my opinion it is because they are too heavy. You really need to low down the weight. Remember, you do not need any special indoor materials. Just light balsa and light plastic covering (thinnest sandwich bags possible) will do the job! :) Learn balsa wood selection like Larry Coslick explains in his hobbyshopper video! Good luck!
I dont have good foam source, plus I am not a big fan of working with foam. A lot of disatvantages toxic dust, difficulty in sanding etc. and only one advantage over balsa IMO - strenght. I might give such a project a shot though in the winter, now too many outdoors actions take place ;) Video of such an indoor airplane you can see here: th-cam.com/video/TtLEY3Rzv1k/w-d-xo.html For heavier, simpler outdoor stuff, driven by commercial plastic prop you can read here: www.endlesslift.com/tag/foam-planes/ And tutorial: www.endlesslift.com/sierra-nevada-special-a-rubber-powered-airplane-from-snow-white-foam/

Livingroom Flight thanks..
all your videos are obviously amazing but it is sad that I can't make it because there are no instructions at all but still it is great
can you make a rubber band plane by using foam?
