FlyingFoam.com is gone

Flying foam was a Midwest outfit that had a CNC machine that would make custom cores on a CNC machine   A lot of their business came from aerospace students working on projects.  They would take designs and turn them into EPP foam wings.  You could order the wings in a variety of different types of foams and colors.  You could also buy blocks of foam for your own project.

Part of their offering were designs they had programmed  sold under their "Quick Core" section of their website.  One of the better offerings was a 4' delta wing known as "Cheap Shot"  that sold for less than $60. They also offered other delta wings in 5 and 6 foot wingspans.  Along with this they had plans for various other planes such as Andrew Newton's favorite,  the 'Le Fish' glider.

The owner,  Coby Leuschke  saw a lot of work, and not a lot of money. He looked to get out of the industry and sold the CNC machine to an aerospace company.  The machine will now be in the hands of people who will use it exclusively for commercial drones.   As for Coby, he was working on an open source robotics platform on Kickstarter around 2014 and 2015. 


I wish to thank Coby for all he's done for the hobby over the years and wish him success in the future.


Here's a few videos of the various offerings from  Flying Foam.
