Awesome! Where did u find all these addresses??? I'll go to the first address 2day itself and check it out.. The problem with the other industrial estate people is that they only sell in bulk, will check them out anyway..

I hope you find everything that you need here, and even if they sell in bulk always use "I need it for my college project, even a small amount will do" and it works, specially with the balsa guys!
and if you find anything let me know! I will eep you informed about more such places, the only thing is I cannot long distance call these guys, so you can take that trouble!

NB: BITS Pillani Goa is/has organsized a RC Jet competition! dunno if you are/were aware of it!

No problem! I'll take that trouble..  ;D And I wasn't aware of the BITS thingie.. Normally they send invites to all the colleges & I've not been going to college these days.. Can you send me a link to any info about it?

Gentlemen ;)  We are mixing up subjects.  We moved from hot wires to foam to jet competition.  I have split the foam stuff in Goa to this thread, please do start another thread on the BITS competition stuff :)

Anwar saab,
I don't know if the BITS competition status, but I sent them a mail enquiring about such competitions and workshops.
Also sent a invitation to them asking to join this forum.
there's so much happening in that little state and nobody even knows!

Thanks Anwar Bhaiyya.. I guess we drifted off topic.. And sorry for the blank post above, it was meant for the other hot wire thread so i cut it out and moved it there myself.. Feel free to delete that post as well as this one.. I know how much you hate modifying/deleting posts.. Sorry..

so has anyone found a good foam source? i went around asking in vasco and margao, but the only thing they have is thermocol.... -_-


Title: Re: Foam source in Goa
Post by: rastsaurabh on February 27, 2013, 04:32:52 PM
dont worry .... use a good thermocol and make it stiff by paper coating.... it is good enough...

see my post for more info.....

Title: Re: Foam source in Goa
Post by: aniket210696 on March 07, 2013, 02:47:13 PM
today i was returning home from margao, i saw a shop near arlem bypass called creative works... they make props out of foam... don't know what, but it looked like depron... smooth and what not... may check it out soon and tell you guys... ;D

:P

Post by: sainath on March 07, 2013, 08:32:49 PM
no its not depron its thermacol they use sand paper to make it smooth and then they paint it. its really difficult to get depron in Goa. 


Title: Re: Foam source in Goa

get some coroplast and it will be fine to make your first plane...
@Aniket- send me your contact details, lets meet after my exams get over and work to get your first bird up in the air :)
@Sainath- is your sim working fine?


Title: Re: Foam source in Goa
Post by: sainath on March 08, 2013, 01:33:17 AM
@ prateek - I tried to fly gental lady glider (after practicing on simulator for many hrs)  no success :( . thr is sm balancing problem. and dont want to take more risk, i think i shd try sm other bignr plane. any suggestions? thinking of building extra300 with 6mm thermacol. dont know wthr it will work or not.


Title: Re: Foam source in Goa
Post by: prateek13 on March 08, 2013, 02:18:46 AM
@sainath- forget about the extra300, it is an intermediate plane and nowhere near a beginner plane.
maybe we can fly on a buddybox setup and you can learn how to balance out everything and control the plane without crashing. Also the gentle lady needs some mods before a first flight. Did you crash it by any chance?


Title: Re: Foam source in Goa
Post by: sainath on March 08, 2013, 02:41:15 AM
no it didnt crash. it was nose heavy and i was not able to balance it proprly.


Title: Re: Foam source in Goa
Post by: prateek13 on March 08, 2013, 02:46:39 AM
so let's try flying in buddy box if you don't want to take any chances alone :)


Title: Re: Foam source in Goa
Post by: sainath on March 09, 2013, 08:32:52 AM
