Canuck Engineering features an in-house 4-axis foam cutting system that allows us to produce exceptionally clean, accurate airfoils for RC airplanes. By cutting directly from digital airfoil profiles and working with multiple foam densities, we ensure consistent precision, smooth surfaces, and optimized performance for every wing and component we manufacture. This in-house capability gives us full control over quality, repeatability, and customization—resulting in lighter, stronger, and more efficient RC air frames.

Need a quote: Contact Canuck by email with the following information:
- Foam Type
- Typically EPS or EPP (1.9#)
- # of Wing Sets
- # of Panels per wing
- For Each Panel
- Length
- Airfoil Root
- Airfoil Tip
- Washout (Wing Twist) in Percent
- Sweep Angle measured @ LE of panel
- Spar Channels can be cut. Provide location, size, shape depth, info in quote request if needing spar channels cut.
Notes:
- Max panel size that fits on the 4 axis CNC hot wire machine is 31″. Greater than 31″ panels will need to be split into smaller panels for cutting and glued together after cutting
- Root:Tip size ratio 2:1 max due to wire speed differential and curf sizes.
- Sweep angle is limited by machine geometry. Highly swept wings will require panels be cut rotated so TE is parallel to wire start position.
- +2700 Stock Airfoils are in Canuck’s Database. If sending custom airfoil files, they need to be in a standard airfoil file format. DXF would require additional CAD time to convert to an airfoil file format.
Hot wire machine runs GMFC foam cutting software. Airfoil database through Profili Pro.
