“Foam Core Wings” is a play on words. This page is not only about how to create light but durable foam core wings for RC planes. It is a DIY page for those who want to learn how to use fairly low tech (no CNC here) methods to build very light but durable RC planes. The resulting planes not only look very professional but also fly great. The processes used for plane and wing construction will be outlined in detail through posts here and videos on YouTube. Also, we will include information on how to build some of the tools used during construction.
