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!
