Hi-ho,<br>
<br>
For bulkheads foam-board from the drawing room is good. 5mm thick
form memory, foam with cardboard either side. I've used it for lots
of RC models over the years. Cheaper than Balsa and no grain.
About the same strength as 1/8th balsa, use PVA or foam compatible
cyno to glue it.<br>
<br>
For hot wire cut sections Form insulation sometimes have big
off-cuts available cheap, aside from that insulations places are
your best bet. Call around and see who's doing a deal on offcuts.
Normally you can find someone who's prepared to part with some lumps
for beer money.<br>
<br>
Not sure if Jaycar have nichrome, but South Island Used to. I got a
roll of the stuff years ago from somewhere and haven't had to buy
any since. :-)<br>
<br>
Cheers, Chris H.<br>

<p>I'm currently experimenting with WIG (Wing in ground-effect)
craft and have been building them out of balsa (here's a vid of
my <a moz-do-not-send="true"

This is getting expensive so I'm going to start making them from
foam. Does anyone know of a good, preferably cheap source of
foam? While I'm at it, does Jaycar sells nichrome wire?</p>
