USAF ROG
ALTHOUGH it's the lowest of low-tech materials, foam plastic from the common supermarket food tray is finally gaining acceptance within the modeling fraternity as a genuinely valuable construction material. For some applications, foam is as good as sheet balsa, and in a few instances it's even better. I haven't heard of a use for the lovely pink and blue egg cartons yet, but the common grocery trays provide most of the parts for this little USAF ROG model-including a preformed, cambered wing with Hoerner tips. While the ship would probably fly just as well without the fancy curves, it's a nice change from the square-cornered ROGs we commonly see.
