RC India

hi friends ,
let me share an experience with EPP.
i was trying my new piaget EPP model, first flight directly to 3d and that too indoor, it hit many times to walls and ground but i was sure nothing will happen, but when i analysed the model after flight i found a small crack in the fuselage,

do not make habbit of crashing EPP models many times, it do break on hard hitting,
but anyways its best crash resistant foam ever,
i am happy atleast i was able to do successfull hovering first time on first flight itself.
 ;D

Amir ,
It is not breaking of EPP but more of tearing like cuts which could be caused  due  to prop or sharp objects at the place where it crashes .
In my piaget I have taken off the landing gear and reinforced with local EPP the joints like where the fuse and the wing join with local EPP.
I have also stuck local EPP like a skid on the bottom of the plane instead of landing gear. With that the piaget can take any type of landing anf hits very well without tearing.

Sai

that may be the case!!
anyways i am very much satisfied with the plane !!
thanks rcforall for offering these type of models for the first time in India !!!

Welcome ;D

Where is my credit for introducing the foamie mania ;D  Or was it really me ? (can't remember) !

was not in my knowledge ..
u also deal in rc products ?

Nope Amir. I was constantly  telling Sai and others that the only type of planes I used to fly regularly are the foam ones.  I really enjoyed building from such ARF foam kits, and posted threads like :

I think Sai got the idea of bringing such planes to the Indian market from these discussions. I was just kidding about the "credit" part  ;)

hmm ok
