What Covering do you have on your planes? they all look good and are very Strong I think I saw on one of your videos that you guys put like fiberglass Netting or some sort?
best place for epp foam blocks and sheets any size or thickness is diret from manufacturers, FOAMS4U DIRECT best prices around and very quick delivery, call Daniel on 07772 290636 he will help you out guaranteed.
You guys should do it again and mount a little camera to see som RC dog fight footage. That would be great..i have never seen anyone do that..just the regular crap but would be cool the way you guys are flying up close and a little cam would be great.
Where did you buy your foam?
@rcFoamFighters can i use another motor?
which remote do u use?
hobby king
Airsoftelit028 thans for the comment. As mentioned in the video the motor for this Plane I got from Grayson Hobbies. Your can find them on the internet. We also get motors from rcHotDeals and HobbyCity.

what makes this thing fly?

BERELEAH, 15mm is aboput .59 inches or just a little more than 1/2 and inch. As for glue there are a few options. You Can use 5-minute Epoxy, Hot Glue, Goop or Foam Safe CA glue. I think I used 5-min Epoxy on my model. A lot of people like GOOp because it is a little flexible and give a little before it breaks. it does take longer to dry though. Epoxy, CA or Hot glue is faster. Hope that helps.
Hi rcFoamFighters. I must tell you that i love this plane its cool, nice job! Keep up the good work!!! I want to build one for myself. I just have a few more questions, if you dont mind. 1) How much is 15mm when converted to inches? 2) And what glue is best that i use to glue the parts together after i cut them out? As you did in the video.
hey if you guys have another vid series could you number it like you did on these ones. i just watched the bulletprrof build along and it makes it a little harder to find the right vid. you guys are some of the best, always reply to youtube comments and really pay a lot of attention to anything you do. keep it up!
cool….
what is epp like.?.. like bluecore?
codeengine, we usually use a table top hot wire cutter to cut out the main pieces. Then use a handheld hotwire tool to cut the rough shapes and last finish off the surfaces with a Rasp and/or fine grit sanding block. Please see the new featured video on our channel, it shows the table top hotwire tool.
what do u use to cut the foam
scomafarlanec07, you can still do barrel rolls very easily. The elevons still work like ailerons. Please see some of the other planes we have videos of. The EPP jet does rolls in video 6 and also the Novajet, delta jet, monkey plane and others we have videos of are good examples of elevon planes.
alright thanks that makes it much clearer now. but does that mean that you can’t do barrel roles in the air? and also, could i make one that is about half the size of yours or wouldn’t that work?
