@PHAJH Thank you very much. Once again - outstanding work. I just have 1 question, what kind of paint do you use? acrylic? because most of the paints I tried damages depron, so I am using color packing tape, but it doesnt look that good as paint.
@KardanAutos You're welcome. Try to make a flat bottom wing. Mine had very bad stall characterstics.... (and did not survive). The paint used is ordinary acryllic wall paint....applied with a roller. Works ok as you can see. The finish will always be matte though.

from italy: bellissimo!! c'è un progetto? mi puoi dare il progetto? ====> translate===> very nice!are there a project? can you give me this project? tks!!! :)
:( i wish i could build like this. everytime i try, it completely sucks. i tried to build a cub out of styrafoam and just sanded it all and it just will NOT fly. I have tried countless times trying to get the cg right. Now it flies for like 4 seconds then all the sudden rolls over and nose dives :( i just give up. spent like 3 weeks working on it for nothing. i guess ill just keep buying my planes
@gnikishin First of, this is Europe so it is all a lot more expensive then in the USA. Building material (Depron/plywood) 10 euro Glue 10 euro Paint 15 euro 4 servo's 30 euro motor, ESC, receiver 75 euro servo wires and control horns/rods 10 euro ========== Total 140 euro Lipo Battery 50 euro
@PHAJH don't forget the chargers! I'm building an rc plane out of balsa and I've already spent more than 200€ on it! The most expensive part is the receiver and the chargers...
GREAT JOB. did you use any wood in the wings to keep them straight and to give them support or they all foam? I'm gonna attempt to build a 73" span A-10 from depron was wondering if it was possible to sheet the wings with foam and i seen your video.. thanks for posting.
No, there is no wood in the wings. They are pretty stiff without as long as you build a relatively thick wing. An A10 would have thinner wings which might be a problem. Also, the Auster has wingstruts. So the forces are distributed at 4 points (2 struts, 2 attachments to the fuselage) which reduce forces. I think a thinner, un-strutted wing could use a wooden or carbon spar.
The depron sheeting is plenty strong, similar to balsa sheeting.
Kit? This is a scratch built aircraft, I really do not know how long it took me, couple of hours for sure but depron is very easy to work with. A lot of time went into "head scratching" and hard thinking :-)
HOLY SHIT my man, cant believe that went unnoticed by me...i can only asume that a late hour and a fair amount of beer leads 2 tunnel vision and not seeing sidebars...
SO i say thx 4 the info and "SORRY" 4 the comment which i shall leave there 4 all 2 c how much of a drunken twunt i am...
Please help me out here...what aerodynamical problems are you thinking of? There are millions of depron aircraft out there. I really do not know what problem there could be.
Thank you. But:: do a Google search on model "aircraft surface roughness".......
"For reducing parasite drag the biggest factors are the apparent cross section area and the wetted area (....) Surface roughness also plays a part (but its not as simple as smoother the better: sometimes a rough surface can keep air flow attached to the wing - "turbulators" are a PhD study on their own!).
@molinobeer I have made three depron's bipes wh'o's are only 20% covered by paint, alkyde cans, and you can see in my videos, they're flying perfectly, very stable and smooth fly... There's a little difference with Phajh's one, mine is a flat wings profile (6mm), but fuselage is "fat"
Do you know where i can get some cheap depron sheets for building RC plane? Or the type of foam used by hefty for their foam plates (flexible Styrofoam). Or are they called depron? I saw some in lowes the other day buy they are corrugated. I want to know where I can get them as flat sheets, at cheap lowes price. Anyone know?
Beautiful, a friend of mone used to own an Auster G-APVG and he tool me flying in he during his lunch hours, would love to build one and do it as his and take it to show him
Hi, Good video, and the RC Depron got very good, congratulations for the ability, I think that now I can try to do something, Rgds from São Paulo / Brasil
Depron is very cheap and very easy to work with. A lot easier than wood. If you like it, give it a try! Build a simple shockflyer - you'll be amazed at what you can do.
Awesome video, awesome plane, hope you dont mind if I steal few ideas from you?
