Which is better, EPP or Depron foam? I plan to make two planes, one for very very slow flying, as slow as possible. The other for maximum speed and aerobatics. Should I use different foam for each, or does it not matter?
i bought a alloy shark helicopter(not mini) and every time i try to fly it, it goes back words or sidways and i cant seem to go forward or backwards or turn using the remote.i read the instructions to it doesnt seem to work.
To take advantage of the strength of the strapping tape you should place it so that the fibers run across, or perpendicular to, the gap between the wing and aileron.
u can do the same thing abit straighter, but obv not if u dnt need it.
use 2 meteal straight edges, put one either side of the wing, but offset them so that if u were looking at a cross section of the wing (and edges) theres the desired angle between the edges closest to the aileron surface, the if u use a longer blade, u just cut allong that, and the lines will be cleaner cuts :)
my dad knows i do this hobby and he bought me that exact tape because he thought i would need it, but thanks alot man i learned alot during this presentation, i am planning to buy some deprron from rcfoam and then try to build one of your awesome planes!
Boom Done! You're awesome, Dave!

for beveling the rudder on single rudder planes does the side you do the beveling on matter?

would aluminum tape work???

instead of adjusting the trim, go for the servo arms on the heli itself

or move the center of G foreword so it wants to go ahead of its self.
