I have completely waded up my Apprentice 15e. I mean I’ve abused this plane. Ripped both wings in half, snapped the tail boom in half, tore the landing gear/battery compartment out and each time I have glued it back together with Foam-Tac and it’s good as new. I wish I could send you all the pics and videos of the destruction. I have many planes, but this thing is my favorite and it’s a beater, just have fun plane. Without the Foam-Tac glue it would have been in the garbage the first day 😂 Love your videos man 😎👍

Nice explanation and guide to r/ c foam aircraft repair!❤❤❤

Thanks for the advice you got that jet looking new and I learned a few tricks from you good job.

major old video, but I am very new to the hobby!!! and I need all the help I can get! I have been watching your channel for a couple months now. Just found this old video! Wow am I glad I found it. You ROCKED THIS REPAIR!!! thanks again! 👊👊👊

I use the Beacon Foam-Tac which is great stuff. Will look for the Foam Finishing Compound and the Hobby Coat.

Looks better than new to me! Nice job 👍

Lots of learning here! Subscribed!

Thanks for sharing this episode! Appreciated!

Thanks for the lead...over 5 years later!! I bought a bottle on your advice and it showed up right before my new T-28 Trojan thankfully. Right out of the box, the huge flap control surfaces were already cracking through the hinge point. I have heard mentioned that some planes had been destroyed in flight due to control surface separation. I coated all my hinge points so I should be good to go. Why isn't this stuff more widely available online and in stores?! It's not cheap but it's sure valuable and easy to use!

Nice video man. Beautiful work.

nice job, you made it look new again

Great information Rich

Great job! You do great work

Thanks Rich, just what i needed to see. I love watching your videos, very i formative and good advise, keep up the good work. God Bless

Great job.. very informative... . Thank you

Looks great for gouges and hangar rash. Although with that significant damage to the tail section you might as well order a whole new rudder assembly. Thanks for all the tips.

Nice repairs. Thanks for the product info. I should buy a case of each. Lol.

I fond that foam brushes work best for applying the Hobby Coat. A regular does not work well and my air brush clogged too soon. Foam brushes work well and some trial and error, mostly error :)

Thank you!

Your an artist!

Thanks for the video. Very informative. I was wondering what type of foam you used for the repairs and where you obtained it.

Thanks Rich, going to go over my Dynam Stearman rudder with foam tac just to be safe.

I START FLYING AGAIN THE LAST 5 YEARS""I'M 35 NOW'' WHEN I WAS 13 TO 16 IWAS FLYING NITRO PLANES TRAINERS AND LOW WINGS LATER,BUT MY LOVE IS WARBIDS! I HAD THE GAS ENGINES CONSTRUCTION KNOWLEDGE WHAN I START OVER 5y AGO BUT NOT THE FLYING SKILLS.I START WITH 2 EPO W/BIRDS AND THEN MOVE TO 30cc 35cc and 60-65cc ARF.MY POINT IS WHEN I HAD ROUGH LANDINGS/CRACKS /ETC, THOSE PRODUCTS MAKE MY FOAM W/BIRDS LOOK BETTER AND FLY LIKE NOTHING HAPPEND!EVERY SINGLE RC GUY RECOMEND THOSE TO ME ,AND I DO THE SAME.SAVES YOU MONEY/TIME IF YOU USE THEM PROPERLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Low adhesion painters blue tape works excellent for foam repair or to damn parts when using fillers ...hardly ever removes painted finishes...just lightly press in place !

Thanks

Good job

The Foam-Tac Glue is great stuff but I haven't had much luck with the Foam Finish as it tends to catch in the sandpaper and peel off the foam...especially near the edges where it was applied....seems to be too soft.

Will the Foam Finish stand up to water after it dries? I am using it on my HK Skipper. I know it says it can be cleaned up with water.

Hi Rich! Do you thin out that valspar paint before using it in the airbrush? what kind of thinner do you use?

I snapped the end off my type w wing, felt sad for a while whilst walking home and then used super glue to glue it back on....did I make a mistake?

You are the wizard of rc planes. Thank youuu. What glue would you recommend to build my starmax f18 70mm kit? Its epo.

Is foam cure the same thing?

so you do make mistakes I would love to see the video of the crash I love the inverted low passes some i hope I can fly inverted a foot off the ground someday. nah I get nervous twenty feet in the air you are the man Rich keep up the great flying

Are these products the ones you still recommend and use today or are there new better products out now ? I see video is 3yrs old

What type air brush are you using and the size needle? My air brush would not work from clogging.

Rich, would you have used the foam filler on the freewing mosquito build, instead of clamping epoxy on the nacelles

Awesome product, just went online to your site to order some products but unable to select Australia as destination country. Do you have any stockists here or is there any other way of getting some ordered?

You mentioned weak hinges when planes come from the factory. What do you think about using it as a reinforcement on all the hinge joints if there Weak or not?

@RCINFORMER Where do you get the foam you use for the new surfaces

With the cost of all these repair glues, paints, and time you might as well buy new replacement parts

What do you clean the foam tac off of the brush with?

Hola! Donde consigo estos productos?? tienes alguna pagina donde comprar estos pegamentos??

Rich where did you buy the 3-m sanding product you showed in your video?

what kind of paint do you use on EPO styrofoam?? thanks for the info

Can anyone tell me what the presenter is referring to when he mentions CA’s as a type of adhesive?

Daumen runter! Mein Foam Finish war so zäh und wohl so alt in der Dose, ließ sich kaum verspachteln, das klappte nie . . .so wie hier im Video dargestelt. Verschleifen......bei mir ging das nicht !!! Der Foam Tec Kleber ist gut. Allerdings wird der Restkleber dann in der Tube mit der Zeit so dickflüsg das man ihn kaum noch aus der Tube bekommt und gebrauchen kann. Das mit der dünnen Kanüle hier im Video .........geht nur solange der Kleber Neu und frisch ist. Also, das lohnt den Aufwand nicht, zu teuer. Das kann ich auch z.B. mit UHU Poor.

Oh just get on with it man. Too much jibber jabber.
