Tiling isn't hard, I use a program called "scale and tile" that I downloaded for free from it's author on RC Groups (William Segraves).  Works well.  Not clear if this program is still available. 

Let me know how many you guys want and I'll bring the bluecor to the club Sunday if you'll be around.  I'll bring some extra sheets so Red can do some test cuts.

BTW, the "twin" flies better than they show in the video, it's really a hoot.  Your son will like it.  Paul

Paul, I have templates to cut the "twin" out, let me know and you can have them.  I printed them tiled and then secured them to thin cardboard before cutting them out.  They fit fine, the build went well, just need some CF rod for the wings instead of the spruce spars they recommend.

OK guys, get the word out... how many sheets of bluecor do you need?  I can bring them to the field on Sunday if you like.

Yep, I'm in.  If Red can cut Bluecore, I have a bunch of it and would be willing to donate to those willing to build the cut kit.  I've built a few foamies from Bluecore and using gorilla glue, and careful construction you can make a pretty nice planes.  I've built a "Twin" from "Foam and Tape" (one of the Sorilli (sp) brothers on RC groups), a Bluebaby (this didn't turn out well), and a couple of wings (I fly them at home all the time) with great success.  Some of you have seen the "Twin" fly - 4' wing span but only two 24gram blue wonders powering it.  I've also got a few tips for painting the foam's plastic coated side with Kyrlon Fusion.  Should be fun.

Sorry I haven't seen you guys much, but I've been a traveling fool gone every other week for work. 

Paul
