Moved this into the picture section instead of the camera section.
Those planes look great. The black one looks like my first one as well lol. Rode hard, and put away wet. But that second one looks great. I really need to get the RCH Trainer back out and fly it. The maiden flight video was the only time I have flown it. IT's just been hanging up since that video.
Speaking of video, let someone record a flight with a cell phone or something and post the video, I would love to see them in the air.
And the reason I use Dollar Tree foam is because it's very light. This helps save weight and lets you use a little smaller motor. Hobby Lobby sells some stronger stuff that is glossy, but it about twice the weight. However it's twice as strong as well for when you crash. Just a balancing act of weight and power.

Get that bird in the air asap Tony, nice to hear from people who enjoy this hobby just as much as I do . Well I use dollar tree foam board as well , the place trainer was made from dollar tree foam board which i imported my self and the other one is foam board which I brought locally here on the island. whats strange is that the qaulity of the black one was very poor although they both were made by RL Adams , the ones I brought localy had color on one side and white and the other whereas the black one came with black one both sides.

Hey there, BOKI!! I am pretty sure that the foam board is 3/16" thick. It's readily available at The Dollar Tree and I've even been able to get the exact same foam board from Dollar General. At either store, they are $1 per sheet. Depending on how you lay out your pattern pieces, you'll need 3 sheets, at most.
As far as the other parts for the plane...check out Shop for RC Hobby Parts and Upgrades - Digital Servos, Brushless Motors, ESC, LiPo Batteries/Chargers for RC Helicopters, RC Planes, RC Cars, Robots or even HobbyKing RC Plane, Car, Heli, Boat and MultiRotor Hobby Store Hobbyking does have a USA warehouse that is located in Washington state. I've ordered from both places and the shipping time is pretty respectable. I've even ordered motor and esc combo's from Home of the MicroJet V3, Super MegaJet V2, SuperSonic V2, MonsterJet Brushless ParkJet Motors, Depron Foam, Dynam RC, ESC, LiPo Batteries, Metal Gear Servos and I've been very happy with them. They are based out of Georgia and their customer service is mega-awesome. I like them alot. I've ordered from Grayson Hobby 4 times now and each time, the package is at my door 3 days later.
I hope this helps! Good luck buddy!!!
