I have to be honest, I thought this was the stuff you put on ice
cream.

If you are suggesting it's use on an airplane, (which it seems certain you
are) the first thing I would want to know are about it's burn qualities.

Ignition temp, self extinguishing characteristics, byproducts produced from
combustion.

My bet is that at least 2 out of 3 have completely unacceptable
characteristics.

Anyone else wanna bet?

Hi Jim,
I am certain you are right - it is combustible. I want to build a
"common material" glider on the
order of the old MI glider or Harlan glider. No engine, gas or
smoking allowed.

I want to know if anyone has used the stuff or something similar.
Workability, durability etc.

I am thinking of a foam D cell leading edge with a covering or
coating, then possibly for the flat
sections of the wing using coroplast. Simple wood spar, if biplane,
then a wood frame.
At this point just a mental experiment.

Thanks,
Harold Hoffmann
