SpaceShipOne Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hi guys, According to Wicks Aircraft website, item # F500-085 (foam) is used for the bulkheads. Got a question: I couldnt find the description of this item on the website. The reference is not valid. Therefore I m not sure this particular foam is still available. What would be the equivalent to that foam? Last a foam? Divinycell? I would say the foam used in the cozy chapt 4 would do the job, wouldnt it?

Spodman Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I'm not familiar with the Wicks catalogue, but there is a fair amount of detail on the ASS one, with a description of all the foam, other than Urethane... http://www.aircraftspruce.com/builderkits.php?PN=01-01410 ok, I've had a look at Wicks now. There is a description there under the Cozy kit: F400-085 0.2X12X48,18LB,LAST-A-FOAM Quote Mark Spedding - SpodmanDarraweit Guim - AustraliaCozy IV #1331 - Chapter 09www.mykitlog.com/Spodmanwww.sites.google.com/site/thespodplane/the-spodplane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMann Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 If you look at the Wicks Aircraft site under Kits: Long-EZ : Chapter 4 At the top of the page there is a hot link: Chapter 4 That link will list the part numbers and cost. You can cross reference the list with other sites to compare.

rickh Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 The Wicks print catalog (2007-2008) lists it as: 28-1/4" 28-1/4"x28-3/4" 15.6lb density Divinycell F500-085 $105.41 *I* will assume the first 28-1/4" is a misprint, it should be 1/4" ACS: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cmpages/divinycellfoam.php Wicks: not listed as you found.

Juhl-EZ Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Hi guys, What would be the equivalent to that foam? Last a foam? Divinycell? Cheers Tony Hi Spaceshipper, According to the CPs Divinicell H is a good replacement (See http://www.diabgroup.com) and useb by many. Comes in all the strengths/weights required and in any thickness too - albeit is quite costly. Regards, Juhl-EZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceShipOne Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 As I am approaching the end of chapt 4, I m about to work on the firewall. When I placed my order of bit and pieces for this chapter through the european representative of AS&S, I didnt get the plywood required. Question is: can we source it locally and go for an average plywood with the same dimensions from a store or do we have to get specific birch plywood? (my concern is about weight!)
