Building a correx plane.

[Mikeflight]

Hi I am new here and wondered if anyone has built an RC plane from correx? I built a spitfire from from correx many years ago. It was called the CORROSPIT by the guys who designed it. This is their site...http://www.spadtothebone.net/

I have used the same plans and built the CORROSPIT from DEPRON foam. Looks ok and I hope to fly it soon.

Would be interesting to see Flite Test build a plane from correx

Me too, seeings how the techniques are pretty much all the same and only the materials are different. Frankly, the in the Kansas/Missouri area these foamy planes only last well inside. Take em outside and the relative humidity has you with a floppy sponge in no time, even after the min wax.

I did a spitfire and bloody wonder from Coro.
Both fly great and hold up extremely well. Pictures are on my profile page if you want a look. I used 2mm sheet for the builds.

Hi folks, thanks for the reply. Your planes look great DEGRIZ.



This is my depron version of the Corrospit. The original corrospit which I built from correx was a lot more heavy than this and I used a .25 glow engine. It flew really well and could take really hard knocks. Even flying into a tree at full throttle didn't do much damage. Correx is very tough stuff. This depron one uses a EMAX GT2215/09 1180kv motor with a 10x4.7 prop. Motor produces 2.76 pounds of thrust. Hope to fly it soon.
