I saw their name connected with depron. I figured if they don't carry EPP they will know of a place that does. Sorry I can't help you anymore though. I'm not into RC and I don't exactly live in the neighbourhood |

lol...not quite it is summer break and i have nothing really to do, also it doesn't take ling to build these the design i have is simple and looks cool. it would probably take a day to cut out the pieces and fasten in some carbon fiber rods. the next day would be assembly and adding the electronics. and then the test flight ^_^ (which would include trimming and playing with the weight to get the CG [center of gravity] right which takes about a day too) at most this will take me a week. ps. the assembly is simple...slide the 3 main pieces of foam together and make some tape hinges. |
