FOAM 2 FOAM | Advertising feature 2 3 Assembly begins with laminating the foam keel with its plastic doublers using Foam 2 Foam. This is set aside to dry. Foam 2 Foam has a very high tack, but it allows the parts to be carefully positioned and accurately aligned before it dries. Super ‘Phatic is perfect for this task as it wicks into the joint and gives a lightweight and strong bond. 4 5 With the formers accurately positioned on the keel, Super ‘Phatic can be wicked into both sides of each joint.

FOAM 2 FOAM | Advertising feature 10 Thin carbon fibre is added to the elevator’s hinge line. Super ‘Phatic is perfect for this task. Any excess can be wiped off before it dries. 11 The carbon fibre can be accurately aligned with the pre-cut Depron elevator’s hinge line before the Super ‘Phatic dries. 12 13 Once the elevator has been hinged, adhesive is added to the rear of the fuselage where the tailplane is fitted. Foam 2 Foam is used to attach the central elevator hinge and horn mount.

Foam 2 Foam is run along the top and bottom join, plus the spar. As it remains slightly flexible when dry a small amount of Foam 2 Foam is all that’s needed on the locating tabs to install the interplane struts.
