Default 3D Foamies
I got a couple 3D Foamies I built out of EPP that are brushless\LiPo powered, controled with a DX6.

I'll dig up some photos shortly.....

Red and white was my first build, the black and white one I painted PRIOR to assembly.....much easier

I had a 3d foamy when i could actually fly... it was the easiest plane to fix. just tape or glue and you're flying again!

They also fly pretty good, just need a good pilot (not me) Lol.

Mine are made with EPP foam.....you really can't break them. I just fly in my front yard, and land on my driveway. Stuff is awesome. Got the materials from Slofly.com when he used to sell materials. I have 1 plane left cut out, but not assembled.

They are definately tons of fun. all of mine are built with depron, but the epp stuff is definately a good material!
I'll also post some videos when I get home today

Is Depron the stiffer foam? I've crashed and broken a few of those before I found EPP....

Depron is somewhat flexible, but bent to a certain point, it will definately break...or hitting the ground will usually cause structural failure too
Here is a link to my buddys website where all of my videos are.
Check out the video section at the top of the screen, and click indoor
videos. Mine are the ones with the name Jared in the title. there is a bunch of them. Also check out the outdoor videos!!!
