Alex I have used construction styrofoam on rebuilding my wings. I'm not sure if this is the same type of styrofoam you are refering to but it works for me. With styrofoam use only epoxy resin because styrofoam is not compatable with other resins. Vinylester resin will disolve the styrofoam. Ken Rand used styrofoam on the original KR.

Considering that, I will not use wing fuel tanks at all, what about this case? Really, I want to know your opinion about STYROFOAM SMALL CELL. Could be used this type of styrofoam as core on the wings for instance?
