passunca replied to Mark Richardson's discussion Predator Drone Foamie Prototype"Nice... I see you have the bent the foam as well. So I would say that gives you enough strength to go without any other reinforcement on the wing itself. Nice job."
"Nope, not on the wings at all. I am using some wooden skewers on the elevators as you can see in the pictures here: http://www.buildafoamie.com/blog/sneak-peek/rc-predator-drone-prototype/"
passunca replied to Mark Richardson's discussion Predator Drone Foamie Prototype"Hi all,

We have no plans to sell actual foam kits/parts, at least not at the moment.…"
Wayne replied to Mark Richardson's discussion Predator Drone Foamie Prototype"Wow that is very cool. I know the predator is a very popular sought after model. But it seems there aren't any real good manufactures of the predator out there. Any chances of you selling a package containing just the predator itself without…"
"Here is the first flight video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57eCXenXiVk
The plane flew very well, and is really stable. We may have to scale it up a bit in order to add autopilot etc.. A low transmitter batter lead to the crash near the end of…"
"Sure thing.. sorry."
