CUTTING A FOAM wing, or any part of a model airplane for that matter, can be a lot easier than you think. There's no need to buy a foam-cutting kit or an expensive power supply such as a Variac transformer. Here's an innovative way that will save you some money. As with any do-it-yourself method, all it takes is a little patience and a halfway steady hand. All the items you'll need for your complete home foam-cutting workshop are listed later in the article. And the costliest piece of equipment is a simple 12-volt battery charger. What follows is a basic "how-to" presentation, with no technical jargon. Even relative newcomers to the hobby should have no difficulties understanding it.
