How to Make RC Airplane Wing using Foam & Tape 

First of all, I respect & love Ed's RC flying innovations. He is still my favorite. There are major differences between Ed's wing & this one. You are missing the main purpose of this wing build. 1. In some countries Foamboard (Dollar tree board ) isn't available. So this is for those who only have styrofoam to work with. 2. I have used styrofoam. Which doesn't bend like foamboard. 3. Taping orientation is vertical not horizontal along the wing. If its horizontal, styrofoam breaks while bending. 4. Taping is done both inside & outside which is not necessary for foamboard but compulsory for styrofoam to bend. 5. Actually I may be the first one to bend styrofoam like this to make an airfoil. 6. This is an semi-symmetrical airfoil whereas Ed's airfoil is clark Y ( Flat Bottom ) airfoil. This idea of taping & bending styrofoam is my original idea & randomly appeared in my head. And before commenting on my decency, first clear your knowledge. Its not "Experimental Airways". Its Ed from "Experimental Airlines". Peace . Happy Flying..

This is a great help, ill try your technique using styrofoam since we have no foam board available at our locality but we have plenty of styrofoam.. Thanks a lot, sir amit..

Good keep it up Looking forward to seeing the plane with this.

There's quite a bit of tape on both sides. Will it be too heavy for flight?

Expecting more rc videos

Awesome idea. Will be waiting for maiden.

What is the thickness of the styrofoam used here ? Also can you share a link of the black packing tape that you used here . Thanks in advance

thankyoucomeagain :)

Hello sir, I have a question. Do I need to calcute where I need to do the thickness spot and how thick do I need to do it?

Hi, is this styrofoam same as depron? (got from rc vortex)

Amit where can I get the foam sheets. I'm from Tamilnadu. Any online stores available pls suggest..

We can place Carbon fiber on it to make it stronger

wonderful! but since Maharashtra has banned all this material... what are the chances we can do it with something else as a replacement to Styrofoam....

what is Styrofoam is it thermacol

Amit - please explain - in your comment you said 6. This is an semi-symmetrical airfoil whereas Ed's airfoil is clark Y ( Flat Bottom ) airfoil. I can not see any difference in your wing shape and Ed's. I am more interested in control, stability and aerobatics than speed. please help me understand what is different about your wing. Did you just bend the leading edge up a little when you bent it back to get a bullet type shape ?

I can't even get 5mm styrofoam sheets anywhere 😑

just ripping off Ed from Experimental Airways without having the decency of crediting him
