What kind of foam did you use on this one?
I want to build one, but finding foam here is a problem.
I don't need a full bundle.

I used Depron 6mm but others have used blucor. The thread is getting long on rcgroups but you can see what others have done.

Hi all. I've created a new detailed build log with pictures and plans on rcgroups. Here is the link and a short video. Best.

The plan is for about a 2 minute interview and then to fly Superman for about 2-3 minutes continuing the interview. I'll be flying off the Carlsbad cliffs where the viral video was shot. This is to happen at 6:50 local, sunrise, at the end of the show. There maybe an interview segment in the half hour before. Rain could screw things up. Did they show any video when they made the announcement?

[riverrat]

Otto.

Yeah! I think they showed a short
clip. I was pouring coffee & did'nt
get the whole heads-up for tomorrow.

MANNN! You sure are getting alot of
good positive coverage for the FlyGuy!

Jimmy

F&F is on here @ 6:00AM EST
So I'll TiVo it, incase I sleep in.

Otto,

Just watched the F&F interview and demo. Fantastic ! Congratulations. I'm sure the the FM will go viral and inspire those interested to fully pursue the hobby.

Probably the best promo for RC ever !

Thanks !

You knocked it out
of the park!

Kudos friend!

[Otto Dieffenbach]

Thank you. This really seems to be the ticket to get people into the hobby. They talked to me from NY for another 5 minutes and want to do it a couple more times.

Superman and Supergirl will be on Inside Edition tonight, ABC KGTV 7:30pm locally. Should be on your ABC station or Google for the station in your area. Shoot was done at Dave's Beach, Carlsbad yesterday.

I can't think of anybody that has represented our hobby to the general public in a better light than you.

Thanks Otto !
