  • Creator Foam Board
    Creator Foam Board

    High quality Creator Foam Board sheets for RC aircraft, cosplay and craft projects in South Africa. Our AA grade foam board uses strong paper adhesive that resists delamination, making it tougher and more durable than FliteTest Dollar Tree and Maker Foam. Each sheet is a large 1016 x 813 mm format, ideal for laser cutting, FliteTest style foam board plans and The Flite Lab Rapid Build Series kits.”

  • Balsa Wood
    Balsa Wood

    Balsa wood sheets are a core building material for RC aircraft, gliders and scale models, thanks to their excellent strength to weight ratio and very easy workability. The Flite Lab stocks a full range of premium balsa wood sheets in 1000 mm x 100 mm size, from thin 1 mm sheeting for skins and tail surfaces all the way up to 20 mm blocks for wing joiners, firewalls and solid parts.

    Balsa cuts cleanly with a sharp knife, sands to a smooth finish and bonds well with thin and medium CA, epoxy and traditional wood glue. That makes it ideal for scratch building, repairs and custom modifications on almost any balsa model.

    Whether you are building a classic trainer, a modern electric sport model or a foam conversion that needs wooden reinforcement, our balsa selection lets you choose the thickness that suits the job, with consistent quality across the range and convenient one metre lengths shipped anywhere in South Africa.
