Contrary to popular belief that foamies are not good on
windy days with the right setup
a model like Sniper 2 X can fly as well or
better than a classic I/C funfly like Limbo Dancer , Magic ,Cougar
etc and the low speed handling is considerably better. The other benefit is
that these models are safer , cleaner and will not end up as balsa confetti
on your first dumb thumb incident.
We have
listed below the many types of EPP models that we stock grouped in styles and
construction. The models design determine how the model will fly and feel,
as well
as the suitability for you and the flying
conditions.

the smallest practical size for flying outdoors in low wind .
The models is this
group are profile EPP with flat wing sections and come in a variety of shapes
and colors. These are very easy to build and have a small part count. The great
advantage of models in this group is that the light weight and size allows you
to fly in a garden or small area. The models in this group are also
suitable for indoor flying .
The
typical example of this group, also the longest established is the
Blade EPP. It can be completed at low cost offers great performance . Over
the years there have been many offerings of this type of model the latest
range consist of the models by RcFactory choice of designs and colors with

airborne equipment to get in the air can be from as low as £70 + Rx. and you

backup to you large plane or heli. There is a choice from Telink ,

motor and prop mount. You can select optional pack to include spinner,
connectors for motor and esc. Also included are better clevisis and extra
carbon is handy for control linkage and reinforcement.
+Glue pack
You can use most glues
for wirecut EPP as unlike foam it does not disolve with Cyano. Its possible to
make the model with cyano only but better is a commination of glues. We have
found the best is to use UHU Por or similar for the EPP parts and the hardware
can be fixed with either Cyano+activator or 5 Epoxy which is messy but makes a
better join. The models require carbon to be imbeded in the EPP. The best way is
to have thin 1.5mm rods in parellel either side of the surface. A scalpel
cut(not grove) is drawn and rods pushed in the cut can be filled with SpeedBond
which dries clear and not mess up the paintwork. Also this type of glue be used
to fill all cornices, a bit like bathroom silicon sealent and once set makes a
very strong model. The glue pack includes UhuPor, Epoxy and
Speedbond.
. We would gladly offer deals for group / club purchases of 3 to 5
models on some of the models on the list .
We shall have regular promotions
from time to time - look out for the "PROMO" link on our main page or our
occasional emails.
