Can we use low dnsity thermocol normally sold in stationary shops for any serious models?  Drool
Saw this at many places....
Is this low density thermocol the one used in insulation of homes? ( ceiling?)

I make free flier aeroplane (6"-18" Wingspan) covered with coloured tape and having lead ballast weight that glides very well with a slope of Δy:Δx = 1:35. I will post the build logs in different thread.

Plainly asking plain questions - hope you don't mind.

Sorry, mistyped while searching typing code of del.
corrected.

Actually it is the gradient/Slope. Rohit, perhaps you have seen the gliders.
You surely can adjust this to make 1/35 to 35 also by adjusting only the throwing angle. Grin

VC, Sorry to say that you have just brake one rule of using english only, though for fun, but it is...

well.... I have used the thermocol used for AC insulation for my 6 ft span Glider (Apple Box).  I have reinforced it with 3mm x 6 mm hard foot spars running on top and bottom of the aerofoil.  Do'nt ask me where do you get these hard wood spars.... I cut them myself at the local carpenters shop and had used the heavy machinery packing material wood for the spars.  For the outer panels I have used Balsa spars of same thickness.  OK... I also used a balsa LE and a TE.  I am reinforcing it with Coloured masking tape for the finish.  The Guppy is a 5 ft span glider and I am giving only similar Balsa spars on the inner portions but have left the outer panels without any spars.  Yes have given balsa (home grown) for the TE and the LE.  Will reinforce it also with masking tape.
I have used a 2 inch thick sheet of Thermocol.
You may see my build log for the models... its a bit slow progress but going good.
