I think you are wrong about the blue foam Chuck. Easy to check.<<

As far as the Long Ez I have goes, there are two blue foams..the hard, R45
Poly Vinyl that is used in the strakes (for fuel tanks and baffles and for
the fuselage sides/bulkheads) and the blue styrofoam used in the wing/canard
cores.  The styrofoam does indeed dissolve in gasoline in just a few
seconds, but the R45 poly vinyl doesn't appear to dissolve at all.  Which is
probably why it's used in the fuel tanks.
