Reinforcing the inside joints of the firewall to the foam-board will add strength

Noah,
Keep going! I will try to go to Rogo Field on Sunday. If it is ready I would be happy to help with the maiden flight.
Will post under "GENERAL" whether I can be there by Saturday morning.

Noah
Noah,
I'll be there. Your job is to chase away the rain.
I will post at 9 am whether I am a "go".

ps: I live south of Yonge and Eglinton so it is a bit of a hike.
BEHR from Home Depot makes paint that is friendly to FliteTest foam. Just use light sandpaper on the foam first to scratch it up.
I used Aluminum coloured rust paint on one plane and it dissolved the glue holding the paper to the foam.

Just before the maiden flight.
