Anyone here tried to use the insulation/foam that is used to ship servers by companies like Dell, HP, Cisco etc ?  That is one heck of a sturdy material, yet very very light. I used some of it to build "legs" for the quadrotor, and would have loved to build a plane with it.  But the pieces I have are not big enough. 

Also, the technician at the local RC store said that he routinely raids construction sites to pickup what he termed as "blue core" foam that is used in insulation of central airconditioning units.  The ones I saw being use are fluffy ones (not stiff at all), so I guess there is something else which, according to him, are "perfect for building light electrics".  Unfortunately he did not have any samples to show me at that time.  Anyone tried this ?

To clarify, the thickness of the foam I am talking about is very high, 2 to 4 cm.

That 'Fluffy' stuff used for A/C insulation here is known as Hetlon. some ppl mistake it to be biopack.. its very commonly seen at foam shops everywhere in India (i even saw it in Leh!) comes in 2 colours white n black and different thickness from 3mm to 10mm. But i dont think it can be used for RC as even 10mm folds under its own weight! we use it as carry-mat.

I also have a sample of Pink coloured foam (dont know what it is). its very light but very tough, but also brittle. showed it around at Foam Market near Sandhurstroad, Mumbai but that and Depron (they call imported foam) was not available with a single person! :-(

Here's another lead for all the Spadders forr our supply of coro. Generally the sunpack that is awailable here is 3 mm but i think I found a good and dirt cheap source for 4 mm coro. Cheap as in free and good as in 1 sheet will make about 2 .46 size planes.
Has anyone noticed, but all the cut outs at movie halls are made from 4 mm black coro sheet and the size is nearly 10 feet by 4 feet.
These guys throw away the cut outs once the movies change. All one has to do is to get in touch with the Duty manager and request him for the sheets when they throw them away. He would guide u to the distributor and the distributor would be more than glad to get the "junk" off his hands.
Happy hunting
Doc

where I can find coro sheets in Goa  ?

[anwar]

Same as all other places.  You need to locate advertising agencies that do outdoor signs.  They will lead you to the actual source of coro sheets.

Can anyone tell me where I can get foam board in Goa?

[Acronics]

Hey.. can anyone tell me where to find EPP or Biofoam in Kanpur or lucknow (UP) or near lucknow....

[b4ggu]

I wonder if the difference between the following is quite clear to all. See if these images will help.

FOAM BOARD ;Thermocol or polystyrene sheet sandwiched in paper used for presentations.

EPP; Verysimilar to polystyrene / thermocol but much more stronger and flexible/ forgiving thus retaining its shape.

DEPRON ; a much finer version of Thermocol/ polystyrene. Suitable for very light indoor models.
