Nicely done. I actually used a similar technique on the wing for my weed crow to produce 0.5m pieces of wing (flying on the video you last commented on). The cheapest foam (EPO) is the best so far since it is verry light an can be made gradually stronger with wood and tape. Making wings like this is really adictive because one can produce these wonderfull, perfect shapes (or maybe it is the foam fumes). I have so many wings and pieces lying around... . Looking forward to see some more of this from you.
foamidable lol I'm terrible at foam types, I can't figure out what the name of what I'm using is to see what will melt it. For all I know its the blue or pink or white stuff with the annoying balls in it.
***** EPP/EPS is the white, cheap stuff with the big bubbles you seem to use as well. EPO looks almost the same but is more flexible and does not crumble so much. The more dense pink (panther)/purple/blue stuff is called XPS. But there are many other types like depron or styrodur and so on ...
Are you sure a E string would get heated enough to cut foam?And also which E string:the thinner one or the thicker one?I think it should be the thinner one.
Frank R. Pilot I don't right now sorry. I may change my ways but my mission so far is to inspire people to try things from scratch rather than make instructions.
So, I guess that... the answer to the winglets wing tips printing is??....... I hope I'm not becoming a pest I just don't want to spend about 300 in a new FX-79 when I already have two X-8 Skywakers... that is all! If you want to I can send you a link to my build up.. that since the new FAA rulings I have make all my videos private!
This video uses white insulation foam, which is the kind made from little foam balls pressed together, formally called expanded polystyrene (EPS). The blue and pink stuff is extruded polystyrene (XPS)
@@pikachu.922 that's like telling a cook "be careful with the knives, you won't cut yourself". Yes, being very cautious will work but ultimately you're going to get hurt no matter how careful you are (especially when you get used to the situation).
@@pikachu.922 I know I'm just some random dude on the internet telling you not to fry yourself with mains electricity but just use a computer/monitor power supply and some nichrome wire. I built my own hot wire cutter for like 12 bucks. Already had two power supplies and brought 20 meters of two different nichrome wire gauges. That will last for life and I know I won't end up in the electricians' Darwin Awards.
R.I.P, i will miss you
the pioneer of the rc plane enthusiasts. true experimenter.RIP samm dear.
The crazy sweed! +David WIndestal @0:35 I've learned so much from him! Thanks

Oh it's actually EPP foam I meant.

foamidable Thank you for your kind words and support they are very motivating
Is that David Windestal from Flite Test at 0:37 ?
+Michael McGowan Yes, from his personal video. ua-cam.com/video/R0ZCnR_g6ZU/v-deo.html
Indeed, i use a e string from my electric guitar and it works very well!
+Jarco de Rover I've switched to using that! In my newer video I mention it. e strings are stronger and work well on a lower voltage.
Is there a good way to dispose of the waste foam?
Andrew Newton has a video where he cuts scrap into thin sheets to be used kinda like foam board.
+dimmddr1 ua-cam.com/video/RXxg_OvDFd4/v-deo.html
Thanks.
Other than that I have no idea haha, hope you live next to a big dumpster
It taste good doh
Nice video and wing
Great video as always
What software do you use to stabelize your video´s @ 2:38 ? It looks smooth!
+QuintenCr Adobe Premiere. The warp stabilizer is neat tool, but also takes a lot of adjusting to get it how you want it.
Miss you mate
Your outro is from an anime called erased, I think it's by "kung fu generations". It sounds a little edited, but I definitely recognise that.
Are you sure a E string would get heated enough to cut foam?And also which E string:the thinner one or the thicker one?I think it should be the thinner one.
Just get a steel or nichrome wire lol
Do you have a video that shows how to build the hot wire cuter?

Cool video

+Migueldeservantes Hi, I will message you through UA-cam. Or another way you can contact me is sammshep@gmail.com
What kind of foam are you using ?
This video uses white insulation foam, which is the kind made from little foam balls pressed together, formally called expanded polystyrene (EPS). The blue and pink stuff is extruded polystyrene (XPS)
+Samm Sheperd (SNRS) thanks very helpful?
Clever using the wooden templates!
Sweet!
im really annoeyd by the fly in the top right corner
Oh the crack in my phone lense?
Hehe... Looks like a fly when you have the image stableizer thing on
I found a variac works well for the power supply, you don't need dc to power it.
Yeah that is if you want to touch the live wire, sure use a variac...
That's a death trap.
Use a DC power source
Don't touch the wire? 50Vdc will still be dangerous (yea, I know the variac isn't isolated, but it's a bad idea to touch either)

Are you a teenager ?You look like of about 17yrs but you have got pilot's license.
I was probably 19 or 20
