Hey everyone, I am wanting to start researching building wings and stabs using blue foam for the ribs. I have seen a few shots over the years and have actually flown a plane using this method and it was awesome. If you have any knowlege of construction, photos, companies using this method please chime in. "Hey it will only help you out" because I'm researching this construction to bring into our models.

Also what is the actuall name for Blue foam? is it "blue foam" or is it called something else? And if you find a manufacture or place that it can be bought please add the link. Thanks for all the help!!
