VTOL - Vertical Take Off & Landing




hey guys i just found a thermocol as good as epp it can be cut straight and sanded and it is as crash resistant as epp and it just costs rs 15 per sheet it is super flexible and hence you need to put in carbon reinforcement i am thinking of building a blue baby primary trainer with it and do many mods on it. anyways my diwali vacation project shall be held up as my depron shop is out of stock for a month so i am going i for this thermocol and coro toooo as it is i have many cf strips and rods left from pulama i will use that on this.

any questions or photos you need please feel free to ask  Grin Grin Grin

and the thickness is 6mm (that was the lowest i can get) and its dimensions are i think 50*120 cms

and it costs just RS> 15

well thermocol has some limitations-

it can only be glued together using ca glue[or fevicol]
if you use hot glue/epoxy/fevi quick etc. then it would leave a big hole in it

when we start sanding it it starts giving some balls [thermo. balls] out and takes some time before it gets sanded

it is easily breakble by even a little presssure and burns very fast [like plastic]

however the thermocol which comes with packings[of large goods] is much better

that is what is the difference ankurgr8on this one can be glued with hot glue extremely well without big holes it can be sanded perfectly and is as good in crash resistance as epp after some strengthening
