|  Hard board as a body material
I've started prototyping a bobbed M35 military body for my Barrage.   Wondered why more folks don't use 1/8" hardboard for RC bodies? It's cheap, widely available, and easy to work. Only issue I see is that you can't bend more than a gentle curve... |

you can bend it quite a bit if you use steam.. biggest problem tho, that i can see, is not holding up well to water. if you keep it dry it'd be fine

If he seals it with Spar Varnish, it should be fine
