I have not personally made a low-wing but I've seen guys notch out the fuselage to accept the wing and it seems to work pretty well.

I use a high temp gun and low temp glue for long set time. There is theoretically a chance of melting the foam but I've never personally had this happen. If it's a one-time, sure-thing purchase you're looking for then get a low-low temp combo. You can get mini stick ones for $5, very handy.

nice work this is just what i was looking for.

I had the same problem (I'm from Sweden and there's no such thing as the Dollar Tree store here). There are two ways I know of combating this problem. 1. use a sponge to apply water to the desired areas (the curved areas). 2. give the foamboard triangular scores, spaced evenly across the curve (option one has been smother for me). Good Luck!

nice vid I think I will begin now on my build till my servos and such arrive.I like the way you work this stuff.

You can try to squish it around like it sounds you are doing - or just build another one. 100% straight is not necessary, pretty straight is probably OK for most planes.

How to mount the wings as a low wing? I have wings built but I am not sure what would be a good way to mounting them

@onetradgicstory It is what allows the upper wing surface to curve smoothly over and form the nice camber that it does. It's also the reason you remove small strips inside the fuselage tube corners to allow them to bend.

I use the 5" airfoil chord by 30" wingspan for the Noob Tube. I describe that in this video as well as the "Two Tone Color" video and a couple other places. A 1.5" aileron works great.

@ade4200 It's hard to imagine a real, cambered wing being inferior to a KF wing for stability, lift, and efficiency. KF's might be slightly simpler to make, but not by much. As for a spar, if you can tolerate some flex, the dowel is probably OK. Carbon arrows are awesome if you can find them. If you are hauling some real cargo then maybe consier struts. They're a little more complicated but so strong.

The only foamboard I can vouch for is Readi-Board from the Dollar Tree. Most brands of foamboard in fact do not work for the reason you describe.

ok, you answered the dowel question in the next video! although the dowel in my local store does not have much stiffness at all. Q2. do you think these wings have more or less stability than a KFm2 for FPV? thanks again.

Hye great videos...Very nice indeed...Subscribed!!

Ed, thanks for the great designs and videos that you share! I just started on the Noob Tube which will be my first foam build. I am wondering if you use a High-Temp or Low-Temp glue gun? Are there any advantages/disadvantages of using one or the other on different parts of the total build process? Will the High-Temp melt the foam? Thanks!

Great work. How do you determine how far back to place the first strip? Example a 8 inch cord?

If using a wooden spar and not carbon fibre, would you suggest gluing the spar in place to add even more rigidity?

What's your thoughts on making a two piece wing with two panels 53" long to have a 106" wing?

Hey there, thanks for the videos! Do you think you could use a wooden dowel instead of a carbon tube?

Great videos! Where can I send donations for shoes and socks?

Do you think your 7" wing core would work well for "Thermal" type sailplane? Like maybe a 8' wing span? Thanks l

great wings give me all kinds of ideas for new weired airplane designs

Espectacular muy bien Un saludo muy cordial desde Buenos Aires Argentina.

Is there a special art to using a hot glue gun because evey time I go to do some gluing I can end up with a mess of some degree..any tips would be handy

Cool stuff here! I've been doing a lot of the flitetest stuff and more recently found yours. Your info is great because I'm going to try to design some of my own planes. Would it be possible to make these wings under-cambered by cutting off some of the bottom part of the wing?

is the wing u just built the correct dimensions for the noob tube?

It doesn't break if you leave the paper on one side. That is the basis for this whole building technique. Try it and you'll see how it works.

do the strips have the paper skins?

Have you found a way to make

@ExperimentalAirlines See Armin Wing part 2 video for details on this step.

I dont understand why the spar isnt glued.

subbed too.

Corrugated plastic ('Correx' is one brand) used by real estate agents (or twin-walled plastic used in green houses) is also suitable. For wing spans, use two pieces, with the laminar flow at right angles to each other, then hot-melt glue. correxmig DOT blogspot DOT com is dedicated to using this material.
