Lets try to keep this one on topic and as a Q and A for people with the new foils. (I know ironic...Me of all people telling you to stay on topic)

here is a fast build foam rig I used for testing the HK 2.2m foil as glider.

Its Fugly but flies great!

here is the bridle attachment hanger. You could use CF or...

before you cut/melt the foam make a template to lay out your gear. This shows spaces for rec, battery, BEC (if you use one) and most importantly LOTS OF LEAD! I also marked for small magnets

here it is with some spaces melted out. I uset the handle of an old spoon and heated with a torch. Worked a charm

The tape is covering and holding the extra lengths of wires up against the bottom of the low profile servo. (kept it "clean" and from spilling out and making it hard to close the halves.) Notice the lead. The "26" I stamped is grams! for reference the small ones are the size and dia. of "9" U.S. dimes stacked.

heres how it goes together

I made cheap allum. bushings to feed the brake lines. You could use "eye" hooks

or...

Make the control arms from plywood CF, FG, plywood etc. etc. These are 140mm.

you can start smaller if you want less throw.

close up of the bottom. The bridle carrier gets held on with rubbers. Makes easy field repairs and access to the guts a snap

close up of the bottom plate. I have many different ways to make these so if you need ideas, just ask.

took 1 hr to build and provided many hours of fun times at the bluff. You could use foam and make a fat chick like Scott did as well. See the big thread for pics of that one

I used the Castle 20A Bec because the BlueBird servos I was using were drawing too many amps from the lipo I was using. You should use a 6V NiCd.  The Bec and Lipo (3s 1500mAh was huge and totally unnecessary but I had no 6v NiCd handy. But since weight was no concern...
