Thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fred Sage" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <Soaring@airage.com> Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 10:47 PM Subject: Fw: [RCSE] Corning Foam For Sale I use Corning Formular foam for the production of Compulsion/Addiction and other custom wings. I do this because the Corning foam cuts much better and is crisper at any given weight than its Dow equivalent. Unfortunately, Corning foam isn't readily available in California so I have to import it from either Arizona or Oregon and the transportation costs as much as the foam. However, by buying in large lots (last order was 196 sheets), I'm able to get the cost down so it's comparable with the equivalent Dow foam. Since I've had to suspend production, I'm selling out my stock. I have approximately 20 2'X8'X3" thick sheets of each. These sheets were shipped palletized and shrink wrapped in an enclosed truck, so they're in excellent condition with no gouges or damaged edges. The advantage of using three inch thick foam for unlimited TD wings is that a pair of wing cores can be cut from a single three inch piece of foam blanked to the proper size. This ensures that the matching left and right hand panels are a perfect mirror image and saves the time of having to blank out two core pieces instead of one. > Specifications of the foams are as follows: > Formular 600: 60 PSI crush resistance in all three axis and a weight of 2.4 pounds per cubic foot. I consider Corning Formular 600 foam superior to Spyder foam as it has its strength in all three axis instead of only one and at very little increase in weight (about three percent). It's also much less expensive and is the obvious choice for root panels or wings that are intended for extreme loads (dynamic soaring, etc.). > > Formular 150: 15 PSI crush resistance in all three axis and weighs 1.35 pounds per cubic foot. This foam is the best combination of acceptable strength with light weight and perfect for either HLG wings, two meter wings or the outer panels of multi panel unlimited wings. It's even lighter than Dow Gray Board and stronger as well. The only foam that's lighter is styrofoam used for coolers which is unacceptable for vacuum bagging. If used for HLG wings, this foam has the additional advantage of allowing two complete sets of left and right panels out of a single three inch thickness. > I'm not trying to make money on this foam, so I'm offering it for sale at the same price I paid back in 2002. Formular 600 is $30 per three inch sheet and 150 is $24 per 3" sheet. The replacement cost of this foam is considerably higher. It's too expensive and time consuming to cut, package and ship, so it's strictly a cash and carry deal. I'm located North of San Diego near Escondido in West Rancho Bernardo. Buy as much or as little as you like. A timely decision is important as I'm moving in three weeks and would prefer not to move this foam again. > My phone number is (858) 485-6239 for detailed directions. > Thanks for your consideration; > Fred > > > > RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
