Plane Electronics Requirements

*3/16th or 1/4 inch Foamboard for the fuselage, wings and tail. I
reccomend using foamboard from the Dollar Tree stores as its 1/2 the weight of
other foam board and just about as strong. About 1 20 X 30 inch sheet of board
is needed.
The company that makes this foam board is http://www.adamsplasticsinc.com/
*1/16 galvanized steel on a roll (from a hardware store) or RC pushrods,
about 38 inches are needed OR you can use RC pushrods if you have them.
*Hot glue(prefered) or 5 min epoxy.
*Thick packing tape for control surface hinges and wing stiffening.
*About 29 inches of 1/4 inch diameter wooden dowel.
*4 regular size popsicle sticks.
*About 2 wide tounge depressors. for belly skids and motor mount.
