Aquicknoteaboutthemanufacturingmethodandmaterial

WehavedesignedthismodeltoutilizeXPSfoamthathasalightweightpaperlaminatedonbothsidesof

it.Theuseofthismaterialversusotheravailableoptionsgivesusmultiplebenefits,includingamore

rigidproductaswellasonethatismoredurablefortheintendedcombat‐flyinguse.

Toprovidethehighest‐qualityedgefinishweutilizeaCNCdrag‐knifethatcutsthefoamusinga

precisionblade.Thebladeisorientedatananglesoyouwillnotethatononesideofyourfoamthecuts

havesmallhashmarksthatextendbeyondthecuts;thisissimplyafunctionofthecutteranddoesnot

affectthedurabilityofthematerial.Asthesemarksarenotnecessarilythenicest‐looking,wehave

orientedthepartssuchthattheywillbehiddenwhenthemodeliscompleted.

Inordertomaintaintheintegrityofthismaterial,caremustbetakentoeithernotgetthefoamwet

(includingpaintingwithwater‐basedpaints),orifthatisnotpossible,coattheentiremodelinoil‐based

polyurethanepriortoflyingtoprotectthefoam.Wehaveflowncountlessflightswithourtestmodels

builtofthismaterialandwithalittlebitofcaretherehavebeennoissues.Wedorecommendeither

tapingtheleadingedgesofthemodelorusingathincoatofFoam‐Tacontheedgeofthefoamto

protecttheexposedpaperfromdelamination.

Ifyouhaveanyquestionsaboutthematerialorourmanufacturingmethodpleasedon’thesitateto

contactusandwe’dbegladtochat!
