Re: foam board
I have built several electric planes with various types/brands of foam board with success.
Not so sure about nitro. It would soak up fuel and break down over time if it was not laminated or covered.

Re: foam board
It's easy enough to fuel proof. The Osborne platters are foam board. I covered the edges with white wood glue and epoxied the edges around the engine, and painted the rest with Rustoleum. Just like with balsa.
