thermoplastic polymer with a density of 60kg, its is a long time since I
bought some when I used to manufacture the wings and fuselages, Andy Draper at
the LAA may be able to confirm. The wing componenets were 5mm thick foam and
the fuselage components were 3mm foam.

Subject: Europa-List: What material is the thin yellow foam?
Does anyone know what that thin (1/8"?) yellowish foam used extensively on the
aircraft? Searching through the archive, there was a mention of it being PVC
foam.
Aircraftspruce and Wicks do not seem to have anything that looks similar,
The only 1/8" foam I could find was Divinycell PVC foam, which is blue and has
a density of 3 lb/ft3.
