Bill I used a couple 4'x8' sheets of 2 inch thick pink housing insulation foam from the Home Depot aviation supply store. I used a metal straightedge and scored halfway thru with a razor knife and then snapped it. Quick, easy and not too expensive. At some point in the past I did an experiment in which I put a block of this foam on a scale and pushed down on it with the end of a 1/2 inch rod. I remember the rod begining to penetrate at about 50-100 PSI. The load pressure supporting the plane is well below this, perhaps 5 PSI max. I thought about making a concave top piece of foam, contoured to fit the wing. But, I tried it first without that, and found it worked quite well to just use a flat top piece. -- Jeff Peterson --f46d043c06c6bc024604ea200c77 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
