Hello every one. ....
I am getting a keen interest in RC flying ........started to have hands on free simulators available online....
I came across a website by name "flitetest.com" (most of the people may be aware of this).

I am pretty much impressed with their designs of sctarch builds foam planes, but the problem is I am not able to get the kind of foam they are using to build their models.

They mention the foam as "DOLLAR TREE FOAM BOARD" which is laminated with a craft paper on both sides.

Can anybody pls help by giving information about where can I find such type of foam board in India.

Pls help....

You won't get Ft recommended foam here

The foam used by Flite Test won't be available in India. You'll have to go with material available on local hobby shops and stores like Depron. Coroplast, HD Thermocol, etc...

This foam is very much in abundance is available in India and in Delhi too.

Ask HIM 

Could you please tell where is it available in Delhi?
I'd tried to search it at numerous places...
Also, what are the dimensions and price of the foam?

It is available but it is around 2 to 3 times heavier I have used it

Do you suggest using that foam? Actually, one of my friend wants to place an order from the store recommended at flight test for that foam and there is a minimum order limit of 100 sheets. So, do you suggest investing in this....?

I prefer HD thermocol ....coat it with normal plastic packing tape......it is quite strong.....

HD thermocol is available in pune  raviwar peth ....search for kings paper...

Even I too prefer using HD thermocol since it is easily available and easy to work on.

the question may sound stupid..... :headscratch:but is hot glue compatible with HD thermocol..?

Yes it is compatible.

Guys the kind of foam used for scratch building planes in flitetest is avilable with this guy
