Cut styrofoam wings yourself

The construction plan in book format

Anything that is supposed to fly has to be light and stable at the same time - this is especially true for RC glider models. Wing cores made of extruded polystyrene foam (a further development of the well-known styropore) are particularly well suited for combining lightweight construction and stability. Ulrich Osinski has been using the material for the wing construction of RC gliders for 20 years. Polystyrene foam is inexpensive and relatively harmless. Glues and paints containing solvents that are hazardous to health are virtually non-existent.

The author describes how wing cores made of polystyrene foam can be precisely cut and directly coated, using the example of an RC two-axis glider with curved wings. In addition to the handling of the materials, the styrene cutting device used by the author is described. It can be copied by anyone interested, so that the introduction to cutting styrofoils is easy.
