I personally love Gorilla Glue, especially for repairing crashed planes. Hot glue seems easier for sticking the fuse together, due to no clamping required. Maybe I will try a combination. Foam-Tac I would like, but I'm not so good at ordering in advance, and it's not available here, alas. Thanks for the replies!

White gyrfalcon
Here is my new bird made from a big foam plumbing packing. It's a 55" scale big female white artic gyrfalcon.

The wing and the tail are supported by a CF rod. No electronic visible on belly.

Absolutely beautiful!
Great job! Did you cut the wing or is it Klein Fogleman(FFF)? I want one I'm tired of waiting for my flight party eagle how did you do it? jp |

It's made of a very flexible free white packing material , kind of EPP or pool noodle. The sheets were 1 1/2 " thick (multiple layers) and almost large enough for the wing. I tried to respect the real dimension, tail and primary feathers set of a large female gyrfalcon in soaring. The body is composed of 5 layers, glued with Gorilla. The dihedral is shaped by a CF rod and the flexibility of the material. Great thing, the material is transparent almost like a real bird feather. I carved meticulously the feathers and body with a hand grinder ! I tried to control the transparency by painting multiple layers of white paint to make the second and third feathers opaque like a real bird and to hide the CF rod and the V cuts. Motor is mounted on a channel piece of corroplast. The vertical stabilizer is made of a folded piece of transparent frozen cake box. Ailerons and Elevator are simply cut in V without hinges, like on a EPP plane. Eyes are made with epoxy glue. Weight is 540 gr. without battery.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! This is what I'm looking for! Just like this. I forgot the Rcgroups member who made this, but I can definitely find him. You two birds look similar. ..

Should I just mount the battery on the floor of my FFF Eagle to save weight, or should I install a plywood battery tray (1.5 oz)? I went with the tray on my first attempt, but it came out just TOOO HEAVY. I'm trying to cut back but still leave it strong enough for a mild crash.
