depron

Hey there Flite fans, I’m here to show you guys my finished scratch build along with some questions. 1) the wires are really messy(too short or long) and messing around with the two piece fuselage really gives me a headache. Do you guys have an idea? Anyone with single piece fuselage mod? 2)all...

At last! I have mastered my own technique: the Score&crack curve cutting techniques! Cutting through curves in foam is hard for me. So I let the score tell the foam where to crack, and just bend it until it gives. Photo of doubler attached.

Hey there Flite fans, I was just wondering if anyone of you had any plans or traces of any flite test planes similar to explorer and storch these kind of planes, but no or less curves required to cut, mostly straight edges. because I love these planes but the curves in the plan are driving me...

Hey, guys, I've been out of the hobby for a while, and it's time to come back. This time I'm going to go for my first really scale looking project, or at least something close to it. These are some images that I found on the internet of the plastic kits with a really amazing finish. Of course...

Hi, guys! For some time now I have been watching various threads of STOL aircraft building. I love the way the FT Simple Storch and FT Bushwacker fly, but I like the way real STOL planes looks. I'm a lover of scale model airplanes, even I haven't built one yet. Then, after my biloute trainer...

Hello everyone, Today is all about a soild bank n yank trainer i been building several times now. It is inspired by Tom Stantons built, where he used the 3d printet ribs. That means the plane has a pusher configuration which gives it the capibility to go FPV. I always built it with taped over...

Hi, Concerning the three-pack of swappable planes, the Flite-Test store website says, "... all laser-cut from 5mm paper reinforced depron foam." However, I've read at the RCGroups forums ("Where to get Depron now in the U.S.?") that the maker of Depron products is getting out of the modeling...

Hello fellow Flitetesters! This is a foamboard B-52 that I am working on. I had a thread in the Electric Fixed-Wing section of the Electric Flight forum, but I realized this is a better place to post this. So here it is! Intended to be Depron, this B-52 is aimed to become a simple design that...

Hello, i am a person who likes to fly and cnc machines, laser co2.

The design I'm currently working on is a powered glider (think tiny trainer +30%) but using the EA 'armin' wing design and hence my question... Would it be possible to use 3mm Depron rather than the 5mm or 6mm most FT and Youtube designs suggest? I intend on covering the wing with tape AND...

How much Depron sheets (30x20") of 3mm will be required the this mission. As well as the Fastest power system for this dimensions.
