 The world of model airplane construction changed forever in June of 1964 with the Model Airplane News magazine publication of a how-to feature article by Ed Izzo and Ray Olson. Ed and Ray explained how to hot wire “cut” expanded polystyrene foam to make extremely accurate wings, tails and other model airplane components.
This type of construction has become enormously popular in the years since that article appeared, and virtually every type of model airplane has been built using foam components. The inherent self-fixturing accuracy, rugged durability, and rapid assembly speed of foam core wings have made them the favorite choice for designers of sport, scale, racing, sailplane and aerobatic models.
Master craftsman, and professional precision model builder, Bob Noll has built over a hundred foam wing models, and in this DVD he shares his incredible wealth of knowledge on the subject.
In order, Bob shows us how to check the cores for accuracy; how to measure, mark and accurately cut servo bays and retract wells; how to make and install plywood landing gear reinforcing false ribs; how to quickly and easily true the edges of wing skins and join them securely; how to adhere the skins to the core using a very thin coat of epoxy glue; how to trim the edges of the covered wing and install leading edges, trailing edges, wing tips and a plywood root cap (used on plug-in type wings); how to cut the ailerons free and install framing, and a brand new method of assuring that the leading edges of both wings are sanded to identical contours. Bob also shares with us many of the custom tools he has designed to make foam wing construction easier and more accurate. Included are dozens of useful building tips and more than 800 individual DVD clips depicting the action in up-close screen-filling detail.
Running time 1 hour 46 minutes.
