Foam Board Channels for RC Airplane Fuselages

- This video shows a folding and gluing process used to make sturdy, lightweight double thickness Channels out of Adam's Ready Board aka Dollartree Foamboard. Channels can be used for various structures. This channel is primarily dedicated to building RC Airplanes...
Note: The panel in the bottom of the channel should be 5/8" narrower than the width, not 3/4".
Thank you, this method is half the time, less work, increase accuracy on symmetry, and I happen to have engineer's scales in nearly every drawer in the house :)
Wow, the green label contact cement, which I haven't been able to find. Did you know most glues won't stick to Parchment paper that is used in baking, like cookies and such? It can also withstand temperatures up to the range of 450 F, but it will brown a bit in an oven that high.
Interesting building technique. I noticed your foam board is shiny. Did you laminate it?
Yes, it's covered with 2.5 mil glossy cold laminating film (essentially a sheet of tape). An earlier video shows the method.
@@flingsair8240 Thank you! I will check it!
Nice project. I live in Portugal and i don't think it is possible to find that foam. Can you please tell me the possible names for that kind of foam? Or even the brands? Thanks
In the US it's know as "Adams Ready Board", and is sold through our dollar tree stores. There are similar products sold in office supply stores, but not quite the same. Flite Test sells a water resistant (and brown color) in 25 sheet boxes. Let me know what you find... I may be able to help from this end if you want some shipped over.
thats a great jig were can i buy
Paypal: sales@byrneos.com $50 for the hand creasing bar or $130 for the press (free ship to US, else email for info). we don't have a site up at the moment, but still have some stock...
here are some things to consider. at 1:53, suggest you see my tutorial, regarding why it is CORRECT to mount a clark-y wing, at zero-degrees aoi. at 5:40, are we seeing DOUBLE-thick side panels. if so, YUK. there is a Concept in Correct airframe design. it goes like this. Make Every Component JUST robust ( Heavy ) enough to be Durable. considerable Weight would be 'saved', if some FORMERs were used. the use of formers accommodates the making of several, weight-REDUCING, tape-covered, panel CUTOUTS. it Should be Understood that where panel construction is used, UNLESS steps are taken to Reduce the amount of Mass aft of a model's c-m, the model WILL have a TAIL-HEAVY DOM. this will NEVER change, Unless Mass is REDUCED. if interested, see my tutorials. cheers googletranslate
Input noted and thank you. I've destroyed many planes in short order, both factory and scratch builds alike, so I was looking for more durability than single wall front sections were achieving. These methods are where that took me. Another aspect was making the planes adjustable in terms of wing position and incidence, battery position and size, easy to construct/rebuild and able to dissipate energy non destructively in crashes. Not too worried about appearance just yet. Thanks again
@@flingsair8240 I like where you are going with these ideas. Seems odd I haven't seen this video offered before until recently. Did you do anything special to get TH-cam to offer this video to watch?
@@wattwaster5936 Interesting to see your reply because I have wondered after watching the other methods
why can't you just crease the foam like he does with that tool. I just wondered since the foam (I use dollar tree) is so easy to compress as is. It's all good though I guess :)
@@flingsair8240 incidence, I was watching a video and they talked about that..you mentioned it here
@@banmaga Since your question is addressed to me, I am wondering what I said for the question? I don't see a comment by me that said anything about creasing, or not.
