I ave tryed making a jet pack from foam board and its more difficult than helmet or armor. What other material could be used?

I have seen people use the very large “For Sale” signs you can get at hardware stores.

I started one with a combination of foamboard and for sale signs. I havent touched in in a long while though. One of the tricks with using the foamboard is this cutter that cuts "V" shaped cuts, so you can actually curve the board. I planned on using PVC pipes for the tubes.

Yeah I'm using pvc pipes, almost impossible to make foam board perfectly round. The v shaped cutter is a good idear will have to look for one, any idears what it is called or is it simply a, v cutter???

You can also just score the foam board on one side and bend it. That's how I did mine.

i think thats what it was called...Foam board V cutter.

Yea Matt this is true.. with the Vcutter though,the cuts are on the backside...assuming your making an outward curve. To do an inward curve the x-acto would work fine
