Here is an idea to save some money for someone (read a Rutan style aircraft Long EZE/Cozy builder) in the Idaho Falls area or maybe as far away as Salt Lake or anywhere in between since I travel there frequently.
I am looking to order 2 lb density blue foam for my project. Aircraft Spruce has some here.
I was price shopping to see if I could find something cheaper and found this site.
I ran the numbers and the ACS 10" x 24" x 96" block sells for 108.7 cubic inches per dollar($211.95 per block). The Dockbuilder Supply 10" x 20" x 96" block is 129.3 cubic inches per dollar($148.50 per block). So using a cost per volume comparison you would save $28 per block buying from Dockbuilder Supply. Unfortunately there is a 6 block minimum order and I only need 3 for my project. So I was wondering if anyone would like to consider doing a joint order?
