What a guy - and I didn't even ask.
OK - I will ear mark the first income from this source to purchase
video(s) about cutting foam. I know there are a few out there.
If any body has seen any of them and would like to recommend for
(or better yet against since ALL magazine reviews are favorable) one
please let me know before I spend any of the Video money.
Also if you were previously unaware of the video stuff please read some
of note 685.*.
Since I manage this separate from the DECRCM treasury please make
checks payable to me NOT DECRCM and that will save me a trip to the
treasurer and back. Your feedback from these donations will be via
mail and the posting of your donation in the books in note 685.*.
So far we have 13 tapes in circulation.
If your are not already a member of DECRCM just set host K::
and login with the username DECRCM (there is no password). Answer
the questions and you will be a member. There is no membership charge.

| For the foam cutter tape, get the one by Channel 1 productions out of
Texas, they give a discount to NSS members. This is the design that
the Colo Springs F3b team is using and if you need some wings cut we do
this as a fund raiser for the F3b team and you can contact team member
Bob Page for more details. CSC32::PAGE

One small point of clarification on the clarification.
The DECRCM videos taken during meetings and sent around are not related
to the DECRCM videos that I manage. If you want your $2.00 donation
for foam blocks to be used to purchase blank tapes for Eric you will have
to route your funds to the treasure "Kevin Ladd". Donations received
by me are only used to purchase professional video tapes.
Not that I have received any foam donations yet - but I have noticed an
increase in membership which I assume means some are coming.
Kevin Ladd can be reached at HLO2-3/C11.
Confused? The video club that Jeff was referring to in the one
in note 685.*.

| It appears that we will never see any more of this foam anyways...
If I happen to get another shipment, I will let you know, but it
appears that the volume has dropped to 0.
Cheers,

| 1156.12 | Foam varies in density | KAY::FISHER | Stop and smell the balsa. | Fri Mar 08 1991 17:04 | 38 |
| I was pondering the weight of our white DEC foam the other day so
I weighted all my blocks.
At first I thought I was seeing irregularities because of irregular sizes.
Although that was also true they couldn't account for the changes in weight.
Anyway the blocks were 35 3/8" x 3" x 15". Actually the 35 3/8" dimension
varied about 1/8" each side of 3/8" and the width of 15" varied down to 14 7/8.
Anyway this comes out to a block that is 1519.1904 cu inches or .8791611 cu
feet.
Weights I got were (in grams).
520
510.2
530.8
509.4
465.2
484.7
428
474.3
506.7
433.5
529.5
517.7
So from a low of 428 grams to a high of 530.8 grams we get
a foam density varying form 1.314 lb/cu ft. to .9255 lb/cu ft.
Soooooooooooooo
Save the light stuff for wings and use the heavy stuff for making
molds!
