Title: First build material selection Post by: singhalman96 on June 30, 2016, 11:21:55 AM Hi guys,
I am planning to makea MF-15 (the links to the plans is given below, so can someone please suggest weather I can use a 5 mm 20kg/m³ density foam( with carbon fiber rods to support the structure ) as I am not able to find 30 kg density epp foam anywhere in Noida and I don't want my first plane to be made from depron as if it crashes I would have to start over again https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4oPz6S_UQpzeTRpWmlFU2xGRHM/view?usp=drivesdk Thanks in advance Sushant Singhal :hatsoff: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: Title: Re: First build material selection Post by: prabal276 on June 30, 2016, 11:50:00 AM dont make a jet as your first plane.
Title: Re: First build material selection Post by: singhalman96 on June 30, 2016, 12:10:00 PM But I have already gotten the blueprints, ans I am trying to improve my skills on a plane that I bought earlier so flying will not be a problem, but about material I have no idea so please suggest

as you wish. I have 1+ year of flying experience and have logged almost 11-12 hours flying. I never had the confidence of flying an aerobatic model at the field. Jets are a different story. I have flown park flyers; SPADs; foamies. I STILL cant touch jets. However if you still want to get a jet done; Go with 5mm Depron. Easier to build with a balsa spar.

Please do specify size too. You can fly with me. I fly in New Delhi if you are interested.

I have never handled epp. the wing might need carbon fiber. Title: Re: First build material selection Post by: Ahmad Ilyas on June 30, 2016, 06:51:04 PM i earlier had a epp kit
epp is very flexible not good for beginner(that is why it now does not exist ;D :giggle: :giggle:) depron/biofoam is best material get it from sitaram stationers in lajpat nagar and yeah the jet you have linked would very hard to build take one with a 2d nose from frcfoamies or if you do want a 3d nose ,take ft 22 @prabal jets are difficult to build yet easy to fly |
