Light foam giants (PoD)

Flying models made of lightweight foam can be seen more and more frequently on the model flying fields and their popularity is unbroken as they continue to penetrate new model categories. While in the beginning it was only indoor models and small park flyers, nowadays there are a variety of genres and sizes with wingspans of up to several metres in which the foamies can be found. Hinrik Schulte first describes the theoretical side of the subject and points out the neuralgic points before presenting you with a selection of large foam waffles that he has extensively put through their paces. Discover the world of light foam giants! Read here how to build and fly such a model.
