<br />Zendude, Gorilla Glue is what keeps the foam and pvc together. I'm looking for the fence post stuff as the downspout keeps getting harder to find and I've used up most of my supply. A little more foam and the post should work great!

<font size="2">Thanks, Randy. The only problem with the smaller fence might be trying to get the fuel tank inside. I tried to get a Jett 6oz slim tank inside, but it was a no-go (they both have a O.D. of 1.75"). Let me know if you find something else, or maybe the foam could be hollowed out and the tank mounted outside the fencepost.

Robot season is over for another year. The FIRST competition was March 30-April 1 and the Ridge View students finished 26 out of 48 teams, a significant improvement over last year. We were also chosen as a partner by one of the top 8 teams so they got to compete in the quarter-finals also. In addition the team won an Artistic Imagery award and the Industrial Safety award and Chuck Brant (the other Mile Hi RCer I roped into this) won the Woody Flowers award which is the most prestigious award given to a team mentor. So, all in all, it was awesome!! The most amazing part is that our robot fell off of the back of a truck at 70mph, so we spent the first day of the competition rebuilding a robot and still managed to do very well.
So, now maybe I will have some time to rebuild a fleet for combat. And I have had a LOT of time to dream up some awesome new planes, (insert maniacal laughter here).
