RC India

Dear all -

In order to start building the "quality information content" of this site, I am starting various threads that point to availability of RC material (outside of RC shops).

So this is the thread where you can post availability of foam boards and coro sheets in your locality/city/town (or village  ;D)

Advertising boards are a great source of CORO ;)

I normally take a walk and  pull out some from poles and gates around .

Here is a Mini E Spad 3 D  made of such Coro. ;D

Getting serious and you need real good brand new coro in Chennai :

Ellis Road , Triplicane

Bio foam : Subhashree Stationary , Near Triplicane Post office :
               Anand Stationary : LB road ,Adyar ( very small shop entrance opposite Mercy Elctronics)

Update on depron/bio-foam in Delhi. Manage to track the dealer in the crowded Pahar Gunj area - had to walk quite a lot in the blistering heat of Delhi.....

Anyway, it turns out that this bloke has stopped stocking (fresh) products, has just about 10-15 sheets of 2 side laminated bio foam that he sells for about 370. The material itself had quite curves and the lamination was coming out in places. It looked horrible.

Further, the sheet is 4mm including thick paper based lamination on 2 sides, so I guess, just the foam would not be more than 2 to 2.5mm in thickness.

Don't think one can build much from this sort of material, but I may be wrong....

Pankaj

Hi,
The easiest way to find a biofoam dealer near you is to call up the main biofoam company at mumbai (number is in their website) and ask them for their local distributor. the distributor should be able to give the retailer's contact number. That was how i found out about Subhashree at Chennai.
Avijit

Did some more scouting in Pahar Ganj Delhi. I actually took a sample along and kept asking around. Managed to get a dealer with HUGE stock in biofoam. The unlaminated sheets are available in 3 mm, 5 mm, 10mm etc right upto 30 mm

The address is
Gokal Chang Jagan Nath Nahar
5/7 Desh Bandhu Road (Parar Ganj)
Delhi 11 0055
Ph 23584959, 9811075723

Just bought 2 pc of 10 mm sheets of 1mt x 0.5 mt for 250 bucks each. Lets try an figure out what to do with these  ;D ...

Pankaj

Hello friends, I am new to this forum and don't know where to get more details on Foam core.

I make Paper Models as Hobby and need Foamcore for basing. If any could help me get them then I would be very much thankful.

I live in Shahjahanpur (U.P.) and would prefer the distributor/person who could ship the items to me.

Thanks a lot

PS: I exactly don't know whether Foam core and Biofome are same thing so could any please clear it to me.

Hi pankaj

I am sorry the last piece of unlaminated depron was take n by me long time back from the first shop you mentioned.First they were trying to sell me the laminated one..i managed to coax a worker and went to their godown where i bribed the worker with 300 Rs and took 5 depron sheets of varying thickness.  ;D I guess it was my day...got a dirt cheap deal...

i feel depron in delhi is costly as compared to other places..i paid rs 32 for 1 sheet in pune from a stationary shop in appa balwant chowk..

Subbu,
Does the Depron also cost the same rs. 40 per sheet?

this is at Pune


M/s Sanjay Sales Corporation
208 Bhavani Peth,
Pune 411042
Ph- 02026344823

You can find high density thermocols of various densities here. they come in blocks but am not sure about sheets...good if you want hot wire you wings

hey rooster actually i was referring to depron itself you will get the same dimension sheets for 45 rs but if i accompany you you shall get rs 40 per sheet  ;D ;D ;D

subbu

Sure subbu,
Will be privileged to take you along for the price  :).Thanks a lot for this source.

What's a Zepron Sheet ? Anybody knows any sources for zepron sheets ?

Has anyone built any planes from zepron sheets ?

Hey can any one tell me foam dealers in navi mumbai :)

Zepron are like Depron (BioFoam) but are much flexible and due to their bending property they could be used for folded wing design.

Any body game for finding the local variant ? At least the name (as Depron is BioFoam, Coro is Sunpack, etc etc) ??

Can you tell me from where coro can be bought.  :)

rgrds,
SUMIT

Since you are in Maharashtra, would this help ?

Hi Guys!!!

I am wanting to build a SPAD3D. Just wondering if there is a shop where I can buy Coroplast for building SPAD specifically in and around ANDHERI.

http://www.spadtothebone.com/freeplans.htm

Any suggestions are welcome. This will be my first spad. will be putting ASP 61 2-stroke engine on this.

Cheers!!!
Saurabh.

Hi People !!!

I saw someone write that Coroplast might be available in and around Andheri In Mumbai... Can someone please  :help: !!!

Thanks
Saurabh.

Hi TG,

I had purchased 3mm depron from RCDHAMAKA last month, you can try there, that time they had just one 3mm sheet left with them.

hi saurabh...the only thing i do in such locality where the materials are not easily avail...is that i go and give them a sample....and tell them to get it...they have loads of contact!....

just so...there is a shop near sports complex..andheri west...i gave him the biofoam sample which i found in Dadar.
so if you have a small piece of coroplast...you can def go and show him...

Hi Saurabh, i had purchased coroplast sheet from a shop in masjid.. i need to search this forum for the address.

do u know from where can i buy EPP foam in mumbai
i want to make a bullet proof plane

 :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch: ??? ??? ???

Would you please explain exactly what you mean by a "Bullet Proof Plane"?

To Make a bullet proof aeroplane you have to Join NASA research Lab and please contact DRDO and :thumbsup:
i think you are searching for BPP material (Bullet Proof Plane) instead of EPP.
Sorry Rao, jokes apart......but your idea is good ut exactly what you mean by BPP......????

I saw an experimental GPS driven UAV aircraft being tested by some company in the Jakkur field, and it was covered with Kevlar sheets.  That is one way to get close to being bullet proof ;)

I also saw it fall from about 50 feet, with no damage at all !

"Bullet proof plane" means, the plane which is "Crash Proof". When the EPP is reinforced with packing tape, it becomes "Bullet Proof"!

I think crash damage proof is a better word. ;D

Hi

Sorry to interrupt you people, I am really searching for Mr. Rao contact # as imp really in some trouble and want to talk to Rao. So please forgive me.

Hello Mr. Rao, I was trying to reach you through personal message but no response, Could you call me on my mobile # 9441833117 (ASAP) or else pls mail me your contact# so that I will contact you , I dont know how to reach you at this site.
Thanks & Regards,   
Naresh

AGREED!  :thumbsup: Its "Crash Damage Proof" CDP  ;D

For the guys who are into builing SPADs, heres some thing I tried and I think it will work better than coro, specificaly for profile planes. I've found a thing called 'Multi layered polycarbonate sheet'. It is hard as plastic but flexible like coro. it has flutes and if the flutes are cut away, it gives a great aerofoil.
If anyone is interested then I'll find out the name of the company that manufactures it.
Pls see the photographs of the material I'm talking about in this thread
http://www.rcindia.org/gas-glow-nitro-planes/no-coro-here/msg16887/#msg16887

Has anybody been able to source 4mm coro?
By the way my build has a 4.6mm MLPC sheet.

Hi Guys,
Ramesh tells me decent EPP is not available in India at all. He imported from Flying Wings in UK recently and says the quality of that product is out of another world compared to the other products that are in the market.

"EPP is not available in India. and I had to order it from flyingwings.com, shipping is huge, and then add customs......................."

I referred him to Sai and Ramesh stresses;
 "Just spoke to Sai, he referred to the material used by car garages for insulation when fitting ac, it comes in 20 feet rolls, not good dude.
This stuff does not even come 10% close to the EPP from flyingwings.com. So when he realised what I was saying, he did say there is some company selling EPP and would possibly send me some contacts.

But Deepak, u cannot beat EPP by flying wings, even when cost of shipping is 3 times the order value. So u being in UK, enjoy EPP dude, we are the unfortunate ones....u cannot beat the quality of Depron, the biopack found here is not a patch. I have seen Depron, most guys in India have not seen Depron, so they just praise the crap u get here, hahaha.
Thanks for your effort, appreciate it, but I will still order from flyingwings, 15mm and 25mm thickness. probably order it tonight. Guys here have no idea of quality."

Can anyone shed any more light on this subject... Have you bought actual EPP in your city?
Have any of you flown or seen the actual EPP from Flying Wings....

hi,

Refreshing this thread with same question,

Does the below 2 sources are the best bet for Depron in Delhi

Sorry but you have confused me!! Are you asking or telling us?

hi,

I am trying to confirm from fellow delhiets

hi to all members

i m searching coro and bio foam in gujarat

any one who can help me in gujarat

thanks
 

Hi,

Coro board are available every where.

A common brand in delhi is called Sunpac and can be easily found with people into VInyl or other form of advertisements.

hi
i m trying new type of material known as pvc foam sheet. this sheets are used for advertisement i got Cadbury and dairy milk adv sheets from the shop kepper as he is renovating the shop. i m trying my first build "YAK 54". i have cuted all the piceses and its ready to fix all the parts togather.

this is more fun as i m new in building. i have also collected some material like "L" alluminum channel and aluminum strips.
 

whr can i buy depron in Bangalore?

Iyengar Road, Near Majestic Bus Stand... you have to try a couple of shops selling Vinyl etc. PM Vinay from this forum for the name of the shop.

Thank u ujjwaana!

Anyone here tried to use the insulation/foam that is used to ship servers by companies like Dell, HP, Cisco etc ?  That is one heck of a sturdy material, yet very very light. I used some of it to build "legs" for the quadrotor, and would have loved to build a plane with it.  But the pieces I have are not big enough. 

Also, the technician at the local RC store said that he routinely raids construction sites to pickup what he termed as "blue core" foam that is used in insulation of central airconditioning units.  The ones I saw being use are fluffy ones (not stiff at all), so I guess there is something else which, according to him, are "perfect for building light electrics".  Unfortunately he did not have any samples to show me at that time.  Anyone tried this ?

To clarify, the thickness of the foam I am talking about is very high, 2 to 4 cm.

That 'Fluffy' stuff used for A/C insulation here is known as Hetlon. some ppl mistake it to be biopack.. its very commonly seen at foam shops everywhere in India (i even saw it in Leh!) comes in 2 colours white n black and different thickness from 3mm to 10mm. But i dont think it can be used for RC as even 10mm folds under its own weight! we use it as carry-mat.

I also have a sample of Pink coloured foam (dont know what it is). its very light but very tough, but also brittle. showed it around at Foam Market near Sandhurstroad, Mumbai but that and Depron (they call imported foam) was not available with a single person! :-(

can u please be specific of the address

Dear sanjay pls check the following thread..Its EPP, better than depron tat too in Bangalore..

hello all,

can any one please tell as to where to get Depron from in PUNE?? i mean shop address??

Here's another lead for all the Spadders forr our supply of coro. Generally the sunpack that is awailable here is 3 mm but i think I found a good and dirt cheap source for 4 mm coro. Cheap as in free and good as in 1 sheet will make about 2 .46 size planes.
Has anyone noticed, but all the cut outs at movie halls are made from 4 mm black coro sheet and the size is nearly 10 feet by 4 feet.
These guys throw away the cut outs once the movies change. All one has to do is to get in touch with the Duty manager and request him for the sheets when they throw them away. He would guide u to the distributor and the distributor would be more than glad to get the "junk" off his hands.
Happy hunting
Doc

where I can find coro sheets in Goa  :help:?

Same as all other places.  You need to locate advertising agencies that do outdoor signs.  They will lead you to the actual source of coro sheets.

Thank you Anwar bhai.

Can anyone tell me where I can get foam board in Goa? :help: :help: :help: :help:

Hey.. can anyone tell me where to find EPP or Biofoam in Kanpur or lucknow (UP) or near lucknow....

I wonder if the difference between the following is quite clear to all. See if these images will help.

FOAM BOARD ;Thermocol or polystyrene sheet sandwiched in paper used for presentations.

EPP; Verysimilar to polystyrene / thermocol but much more stronger and flexible/ forgiving thus retaining its shape.

DEPRON ; a much finer version of Thermocol/ polystyrene. Suitable for very light indoor models.

where can i find foam or coroplast in hyderabad,i live in hyderabad(kukatpally),someone plz help me out to find foam or coroplast in hyderabad????,and can we use the thermocol sheets that we get in the local stationary shops?

Hi Guys,
 I dont have local source of coro in Goa. :banghead: So does anyone here sell coro? Please tell me. :help:

Come on Guys.

Come on Guys

Hi
 Does anyone can tell me where to buy coro online or whom to contact. Please tell me.  :help: :help: :help:

help me

Hi Ved,
Get in touch with any printing or advertising agency. Ask them where you can buy Sunpac. Coro is known as Sunpac in India. It may difficult to find an online source as they come in 6'x4' sheets and shipping would be an issue for sure ;D.
Regards,
Mohan

In Goa coro is not very popular with the advertising agencies.. All the banners here are flex printed and then stretched onto metal frames or glued onto PVC foam board..

Yes, coro is one material which is widely available in India, try some sign-age and printing shops. Or u may also speak to some local business owners as they use it for advertisement, the coaching classes use it a lot. In kolkata, all i see is "crack iitjee, aieee", etc printed on these materials hanging everywhere.

The closest source then would be Mumbai or Pune if it is not available in Goa :banghead:.
Regards,
Mohan

Thanks

@Ved: People have posted contact details of shops in various cities. Did you call and ask for coro/sunpac's availability ?

Can you please tell me where I can get it.

Very first posts of this thread has contact details of a dealer in mumbai:

http://www.rcindia.org/tools-materials-and-building-techniques/material-sources-foam-board-coro-sheets/msg836/#msg836

I infact called them up.

They do have sunpac (coro sheet) available.
Size: 4.25 x 6.5 ft
3mm : Rs. 170/-
2mm : Rs. 160/-
4mm : Rs. 240/-

They are ready to courier to Goa.

HTH.

But they are saying that they cant ship it to Goa. I just now called them.

In Delhi you can get depron/biofoam at
Goal Chand Jagan Nath  Nahar
5/7 Desh Bandhu Gupta Road
New Delhi 110055
Ph: 23584959/9811075723

This place is commenly called PaharGanj, chunamandi

Subir

I need coro.

The reason for their denial is because you asked for 2-4 sheets which will get damaged in transportation. :) They said a consignment of 40-50 sheets won't get damaged. Since your requirement is limited, in that case I guess some local hunting is required. Search for shops which sell packing materials, vinyl, advertisment boards, foam, etc. Try searching on www.justdial.com.

And I have seen shops which sell depron / bio-foam sheets to also have coro sheets. Reason: They all are used as packing / advertisement materials.

Best of luck, and keep us posted.

i have searched on different advertising shops. But they dont even know about it.

Coro/sunpac should be available in every city, go to justdial and search for sigh board dealer in your city.

anyone stocking 3mm biofoam?

The way is found coro was i first located a coro sign, generally phone booths have such boards. I just went up to them and asked where they got it printed. Then i went to the printer and asked for the source. :)

[Moderator Note] Changed from all caps to sentence case. Please read forum usage rules (http://www.rcindia.org/rc-india-forum/forum-usage-tips/).

foam boards are available in 3 mm,  5 mm sheets at any radium designer shops who also make number plates for vehicles, use 5mm for more stability
 :salute:

If you are asking corrugated Poly propelen; u have manufacturer in your city, "Caprihans" it is in Satpur, if u want PVC foam board which used largely in advertising then u can visit one named something like MAX it is @ ganjmal, near Rotary garden, next to godrej service centre.

   Thanks.

can anyone suggest, if we should use laminated or unlaminated biofoam sheets? which are better?

[Moderator Edit] Please avoid the unnecessary usage of uppercase letters. It looks like you're shouting.

Something like this will do...

Hi,

I got depron locally in Pharganj (Delhi)
but I also purchased 2 type of EPP form, but I am not sure that I can use this EPP to build RC Plane

So plz give your views, pics attached ,

5mm & 10mm

These don't look like epp sheets. These are used I guess in packaging and all to prevent damage. I have seen epp sheets and they don't look like these. I may be wrong though.

Latest price updates for Coro sheets:

2mm (6 X 4) - 75 rs.
3mm (6 X 4) - 100 rs.
4mm (6 X 4) - 150 rs.

Today got 2 X 2mm, 2 X 3mm and 1 X 4mm coro sheets from Chuna Mandi, Paharganj, New Delhi

Now they have coro sheets in 4 stunning colors, Yellow, Blue, Red and Green too. I bought plain white sheets.

coro sheets can get in chennai @ ellis road ganesh enterprises..good shop for coro...ask there for sunplastic or sunsign boards...available for various sizes....and can get in parrys corner.there also available for differnt sizes..costs around 120-180......

gbisht, that is NOT EPP or Depron. That is EPE (Expanded Polyethylene) foam. As such, I've not heard of it being used for our purposes.

Amit, would be grateful if you let me have the contact details of this shop. I have my staff in New Del and get this shipped to Ghy.

Regards.

@VC sir, I didnt get the contact details but shop name was Jain Plastics. It will be easily identifiable as that area Chuna Mandi is a block of around 20-30 shops, all dealing with plastic supplies.

VC Sir: I am not getting time but we can use this also to build Airlfoil of wing if we can arrange good hot iron or hot wire cutter, it is light and I have tested it to build small scale wing.

Plz Suggest.....

And In Phar Ganj there are so many shops who sale coro sheet and easly available .....even on less price then amit got.....

I purchased
1 * 4mm (8 X 4) - 105 rs.

What kind of foams are available in india and what are the sources.
and also tell the alternate names to search in shop.i get confused when watching youtube videos they use word like pink foam,dollor tree foam. what are the equivalent of those in india.

and one stupid when i see plans i dont generally find what foam to use. i am going just bite the bullet and use depron for all. so is depron ultimate foam.

Merged into existing thread.

I will be visiting Delhi in few days.. I would like to get 6mm, 8mm Depron sheets from there..

Friends please provide me address of the depron sellers in Delhi.. If possible phone numbers and navigation for how to go too from Paharganj, as I will be staying at Paharganj only..

Coro Sheets you get from Chuna Mandi area in Paharganj. Nearest landmark is New Delhi Railway station, its walking distance from there. I dont have phone numbers of seller there but you will find many shops there selling coro sheets. Ask for sunpack instead of coro sheets.

Depron you can get from below person:

Gokal Chang Jagan Nath Nahar
5/7 Desh Bandhu Road (Parar Ganj)
Delhi 11 0055
Ph 23584959, 9811075723,

You can call on his cell phone for exact directions as I have never been there in his shop, I called recently and he has only 5mm depron sheets with him.
Rs. 375 for 36inch X 39inch sheet in 5mm.

I am searching for EPP foam dealers in Hyderabad. I found these on justdial.com. Did anyone visit them? Comments?
or any other store?

I found a source for foam board in Hyderabad!!!

Rupa Interior decorations
Inner ring road, (On the way to RGI airport)
Go from LB nagar junction TOWARDS Santosh Nagar.
Stop a little short of Gayatri Nagar 'X' roads
The shop is on the LEFT side of the road.

they clearly wrote "Spl. in Acrylic sheets, Foam boards, Wood, etc."
I didn't try it out yet and haven't got any contact no's.

Abdul Rehman Street or Dadar are the places to look out for

If any one of you is looking for coroplast (sunpack) sheets in Gurgaon:

Amit Kalra

Satyam Sales
Opp. Dhobi ghat,
Old Railway Road,
Near Vishal Painter, Gurgaon - 122001
Email: amit.satyam16@gmail.com

I got bright white 3mm coro 4' x 6' sheet for Rs. 120 this evening, slightly expensive than Paharganj, but that's much less assuming you drive down (you dont want to end up with bent coro travelling in metro).

To add to the Spadiliciousness, the guy also stocks vinyl sticker sheets (most colors, matte and gloss finish!), Industrial Strength CA adhesive (I bought one for Rs. 35 - Qty almost 10 sachets of FeviKwik), solvents and double sided tapes extensively for coro.

Directions: Approaching from Delhi on NH-8, take right from Rajiv Chowk and head about 2 kms. Cross the shiv murti chowk and slow down your vehicle. Just cross ESSKAY towers, and this guy's shop is another 200 m on the left hand side in the basement.

Hope the information helps...

Most retailers call coro sheet as 'flute board', as much them have not even heard of word, "coro"

Hi prashant. Where do you buy coro from? And any idea about threadlockers/loctite, I have heard it's sold in Ranigunj.

Coro available at following places

1. RTC x road, Sai cloth store, (he stocks lot of coros)
shop opposite to Rajkamal electronics

2.  Kachiguda x road near bigbazaar, opposite lane, u will find some 10 odd stores
they r selling acrylic sheet, coro, vinyls many more

Regards

Thanks a ton Prashant! :)

Loctite is very much available in hardware shops,

if u want to lock thread, u can do it with rubber adhesives like (fevibond) too, works well

Hi ramarao,

Thanks for the suggestion,
Brought the biopack sheets from the shop you suggested today, 1 sheet 3mm for 250/- bucks

searched other foam dealers near the shop and also MG road but couldn't get it.

apparently siddarth agencies got the biopack stock for some bulk requirement but the order got cancelled, that's why he alone has got supply of biopack. 8-)

hi sagi8568

Where in india i could get epp foam boards...?.??

Why the hell im not able to find depron foams online ......found at rcbazzar but they wont ship only for on store pickup...anyone can provide me depron boards...plz

Does anyone know where to get 3mm coro sheets in vijayawada

hii Topalle Srinivas Azad sir,


do we have depron or epo foam sheets available in vijayawada.

Point one... I am not sir... I might be younger than you.. I am 16 y/o....
Point two... I am also asking the same thing

ok..cool  :hatsoff:

2 days back I went to kutchery road and luz corner in chennai to find coro or depron sheets I asked each and every shop for the stuff. I carried an sample piece of both but didn't find it there I asked where do you get it they told near Express avenue mall you may get it.

Will go there once my parents find some time.

hey nitesh try rcforall they have foam yaar just contact them....

thanks for the reply but I already know that they have it.they have only epp and hd foam which i am not looking for i am looking for coro only. I took that depron sample to see if any store has it if yes i could post it here and let everyone know about it so they could benefit from it.

why only coro epp is one of the best and is very rare in india u will enjoy building from it just try it rather than roaming in the city for a specific thing... just a suggestion :)

you are right but one sheet of 10mm costs around rs. 500 which is to much and the dimensions is also quiet small 1 metre * 50cm. but will try my best to get it. I want coro because I want to build any of those taitil sir's builds which are fantastic and for one more reason I can't tell.

I have to even cut that thing using an hot wire cutter to bring it to more thin sheets of 5mm. another option is getting blue foam one sheet of 25mm from supreme petro chemicals I've contacted them and they can supply with one sheet seperately. But I've to cut it vertically which is a pain. I have a good design in my mind this one http://hotwirefoamcutterinfo.com/_HorizontalTableDesign.html (http://hotwirefoamcutterinfo.com/_HorizontalTableDesign.html)
but before that I want to finish my current build of the hot wire cutter. then i will go for that one. we can use it to cut out the wings also

hey guys
help me out here
i need to get some coro sheets for my project so could u suggest some places to look for in chennai

Very easy. Go to nearest press printing house. ask them for supply. When u ask for the full size, they will request you to collect from the CORO shop and you will be informed. SOme advertisement board Coro sheet may be used for free, collecting from posts of road used for displaying advertising. Many of us used those. You can have a try.

Friends,
 can someone tell me where to find depron in Delhi or Lucknow.  IS it sold by the name of Depron in India or by some other name.... Also if these guys would be able to sell Depron in 5mm, 10mm sheets.....
regards
Shobhit

shobit i am a resident of Lucknow and its not available here you can for sure buy it in New Delhi its available at lajpat nagar sitaram stationers(01129842832) by the name bio-foam of simply laminated white foam board they have it in 5mm and 10mm sheets Rs.200-300 per sheet..
Contact them they have really nice customer interaction....

Regards
yash :)

Thanks a lot Yash..... will look into it....

Hello Sir,
Depron is not available in Lucknow as told by Yash. But, if you need coroplast, then it is available in abundance in Naka market and also at Laatoosh Road. There are many dealers who keep coro sheets from 2mm - 10mm thickness and even more.

Rgds :hatsoff:

No thanks Utkarsh... I am looking for Depron only.... as I will be using it to make tailplanes for my models... Generally my models are big in size and coro may not be the best thing for them.  Presently I am either using Balsa sheets or HD Thermocol supported by Balsa spar.

I am a beginner, I used biofoam (that's what the shopkeeper told me) 8mm to make FT versa wing. It seems to be too heavy.

Does anyone have any idea where I could find dollartree foamboard (about 3 to 4mm thickness) or any other alternative in Udaipur??

Foam Board and coro available in Vijayawada at Balaji Stickering near Navrang Bakery at Besant Road Vijayawada

Foam board price 500 rupees for 4ft x 8ft sheet of 3mm thickness paper laminated on both sides.

coro 4ft x 6 feet available for 160 rupees 2mm and 180rs 4mm

is this price reasonable?

Dear friends,
I have no mood to use coro or biofoam for my models though they look inviting... Just do not like the sharp edges which they bring along with them.  Recently I made a model out of a  commercially available thermocol which is slightly denser than the regular commercial thermocol.  I cut the sheets of 1/2 in thickness for my fuselage and then cut in a sheet of 1 in thichkess for my wing (50 in in span).  Used one soft balsa spar of 6mm x 4mm on top and bottom of the wing surfaces.... Sanded the thermocol to required shape and put in a 10mm x 6mm leading edge + a 20mm x 5mm Training edge to it.  Once completed I covered it with regular paper pasted on it with thinned fevicol (50:50 ratio of fevicol and water).  Covered the parer when wet with a thin layer of the same thinned glue.  On drying I painted it with Fevicryl colours.

Well the end result was a wonderful tough thermocol wing which was quite light and stiff.... coloured well and it does fly well...

OK the cost of the entire thing...
1.   Got the 2in thick thermocol sheet from false ceiling fabricators for Rs 100.  Used it for making 1/2 in sheet for fuselage and the wing.
2.   Paper cost me Rs 5.
3.   Paint and Brush in all cost me Rs 200.
4.   Yes the tailplane and fin were made of 4 mm balsa sheet which cost me Rs 150 (half of it is still left).
5.   Now its the cost of servos Qty 04 for Rs 200 each
6.   Motor and Lipo (NTM 28 series motor and a Flightmax 2200 mAh lippo)

total cost of just the model was below Rs 400.... (cost of fevicol included)

well friends happy building your model.....

Shobhitji please post some pics of your Wing.

Well here goes..... I am uploading the pic of two of my models.... The yellow one in the centre has a fuselage of the thermocol I am talking of.  The yellow wing had a combilation of HD thermocol and the one I am talking of.  The white and red wing on the left is of the thermocol which is non HD.

which are the online hobby shop from which i can buy balsa or form board.

I want to know as high density thremocol and Coro sheet has strength in their structure
I have this sample it bend very easily is this material is used for building park flyer jets or
Different material. Where should I search for biofoam.

Dear wingman bunty, this is not biofoam, if im not wrong it should be styrofoam. its used for packing batteries for safety during crash. if you have a big block of it, you can carve out a 3d profile plane and use CF rods for reinforcement.
cant say about the flight charecteristics as it would create too mch drag but light and strong and indestructable material.
take care while cutting this foam. if ingested it can cause serious breathing problems.

Ashok.P

thanks v2 eagle

Well what I know of....  styrofoam is what is sold as Thermocol in India.  I find Thermocol to be one of the cheapest material to build models.  Look at my latest post thread... I am making a model out of thermocol picked up from Fridge dealers, TV dealers and Computer dealers.  Yes it all has different densities but then one has to mix and match.  This not because I lack supply of HD Thermocol or Balsa, I have sufficient to make about 25 models out of my stock and should last me a few years.  This was just to let you guys here on the blog to understand that the ones using fancy stuff are only scaring away hobby aeromodellers or making them spend far too much of their money. Wingmanbunty... look at my post http://www.rcindia.org/tools-materials-and-building-techniques/building-my-second-model-from-commercially-available-thermocol/msg186495/#msg186495 (http://www.rcindia.org/tools-materials-and-building-techniques/building-my-second-model-from-commercially-available-thermocol/msg186495/#msg186495) and will should be of some assistance to you.... and many others.

Here is the picture of type of thermocol I used for making the model shown in the thread.

You can also get a special type of coro which is lighter than the others and also stiffer in shah enterprise or bros(not sure whether bros. or enterprises) in devaraja mudalai street just ask for polycarbonate sheets.

Who is this Rakshit Sharma???
Doesn't matter.
If he comes here to Indore, we'll share our stock of depron/balsa.
And let him fly our (mode2) models.
If he's mode 2.
If mode 1, unlimited choice
as everyone here except me and ahmedt (and RC Aunt) is mode 1.
So come and visit.

Rakshit Sharma is Param's friend I guess, you must be knowing who is Param.

Hi all!
I am struggling with finding someone here in India who supplies EPP foam ( 2mm-5mm thick). I have been through all previous posts but they are too old and dealers have either closed down or they are not responding. If you have any clue about where I can get it, then please help me with this.

Thanks!

Deepak

Any stores for coro sheets in ahmedabad?

Kartik just take a stroll to a sign writer or google screen printers in your area. All sign writers sell these as they are used on the electric pole signs and hoardings

When you go to a sign/ ad-board printer he may point you to a wholesale shop as they don't usually sell coro. Here they are called 'sunpack' sheets, try that name too. I usually get 8' by 4', 3mm and 4mm sheets for Rs. 250 and Rs. 350 per sheet respectively.

Hello bhayya,

                  Could you tell where did u get the coroplast sheets near kachiguda?

Cant tell about Kachiguda, but you can get in Ranchi. Recently i got the source for 3 and 5mm sheet.

Ohh that's great!! So where can I get in Ranchi?

Near Sarjana Chowk there is Rani sati market there is a only dealer of corrugated sheet. And do use the term "sunpack", if you will  say coroplast or corrugated sheet they will see you weirdly.

thanks a lot!! n do you know the electronic components shop in ranchi?

Haa, dont bang your head in Ranchi for electronics, you wont get it here. Simply order it from any hobby store.

Have pm you my number did you got it.

The  prices you all listed above were of 2009.......
At present can anyone help me by naming a good depron dealer in South delhi?......

Dear use corro

Cardboard will be heavy

i am presently in Jhansi Cantt, Uttar Pradesh.  can anyone help me to find seller of Coroplast, high dencity Thermocol or Bioform sheets in or around Jhansi.
i am a just beginner in this hobby.

Check out your local yellow pages! Search for a plastic sheet dealer. Or go onto Corpack 's website and see if they've got a distributor near you.

I too need this,
Can you help me out?
From Nagpur!!

of course, i went to a printing shop in my native  Namakkal of Tamil Nadu and i told "coroplast" and they never ever heard of such word and after much explainations the printer shown me the sheet and told its name "sun flex sheet" 😅😂😴

Please share address of shop

depron available in bikaner?

Hello everyone.
This emerging store seems to have promising building material products: https://www.vortex-rc.com/

Depron (XPS foam sheets) : https://www.vortex-rc.com/product-category/building-materials/depron-xps-foam/
Costs about 100 a sheet (5 sheets minimum)
Paper laminated foam sheets: https://www.vortex-rc.com/product-category/building-materials/paper-laminated-foamboards/
Costs about 250 a sheet (5 sheets minimum)

It's a shame we have to pay almost thrice as in the States for a single A1 sized 5mm thick foam board here in our Country but I guess it is what it is.

hey, does anyone know any depron,bio foam retailers in Pune
 

hello everyone,can anyone suggest local places in gujarat,rajkot for buying depron,epp,dollar tree foam and glues or any building materials related to RC, :hatsoff:
