Nice to find another guy with clever ideas. I do confess I prefer to use a urethane glue and beveled edges on the foam parts to provide a very stiff butt style joint since it is so stiff and strong. The beveled edges give the glue a much larger area to bond the two surfaces together and the joint becomes almost as stiff as if a carbon fiber flat was in the joint if you use a urethane glue in the proper amount. I use both the foaming Gorilla brand and the non-foaming since they are so great for this sort of thing and more.
So I just made my first tube (testing stock) using your method as it looks easier then Ed’s first tube video . The Lesson I learned today was panels 2 inch x 3 & last panel should be 4 inches and then remove 2inch and 5mm of foam to make the corner square and leave enough paper for that fold over flappy part ..... I struggled with a paper corner of only 5 mm foam removed and hot glue squeeze out .... ouch , so after all that it was still a good day ( about 15 minutes really) thank you from 🇦🇺
I like it!
great method 👏 i will use in my next build 👍
Looks good, I'll try it out!
use the B fold - brilliant ! - the table is my friend indeed !
another Flite Test idea I have is to make something like the Power Pod box to hold the Fan
and maybe even use bbq sticks to hold it in place - rather than hot glue -
would make for easy removal if needed.
I'll go check out your other videos - maybe you already thought of that and did a video.
Thank you - I was just getting ready to do the Fugly Jet build and saw your video -
this B fold like I've used in building Flite TEst planes will be nice.
That sounds like a fine idea. I opted out of the power pod design and ended up 3d printing a cowl / motor mount combo for these fuselage tubes, as well as landing gear, and all the control horns. They work pretty well and I attach the cowl/mount with bbq skewers, so I'm sure the fan will be fine with that as well. Would love to see how it works out for you! keep in touch!
The table is your friend 5:40
LOL yes.. yes it is :)
Did you just score the paper to initiate the fold?
yes. more of an indent with a spline tool for screen doors. i try my best to not cut through the paper. Any narrow blunt instrument would work also like hemostats or a retracted ballpoint pen, chopstick, etc.
@@DroneTastic in Test Flite language that would be the BBQ stick - Yes ?
@@lw216316 yes, the bbq stick will work too. I shy away from the sharp end of those because I don't like to tear the paper inside. It's probably just fine if you do though.
@@DroneTastic Yes, just use some sandpaper and round off the end of the chop stick, or BBQ skewer you plan to press against the foam board to make the crease.
