Glenn, Wicks and Aircraft Spruce usually carry these foams. The company that makes or distributes it used to be in Grand Prairie, Texas. The original Klegicell foam which is the same thing or type of foam came from Europe, Sweden I think it was. One thing you can do with these types of foam is heat it up (like with a heat gun, keep gun moving though or you will begin to melt the foam) bow or bend it around something and let it cool off while holding it in position and it will retain a lot of the shape you desire. If needed get someone to help with the heating while you hold it in the bowed position. I am talking about your turtle back for example or the slight curve to a wing surface. You will be able to make the wing surfaces without heat though, the foam will make that curve easy enough. (Not the leading edges though) You can make your wings the way others have done it including the premolded Diehl skins. Make your ribs out of this same foam, just make them dimensionally less than the thickness of the foam you choose, put a light weight layer of cloth on the inside if you wish but probably not necessary, glue in place with micro or flox mixture then cover the surface with your cloth of choice, fiberglass, carbon fibre, or ? (dynel) : ) .
