    @John

    I am working on similar designs with EPP, larger wing span. If you are interested let me know. 

    It will be a wing, with small cargo container and DIYDRONES electronics you see here.

    I'd like to see this plane in EPP.

    The final version will be made in White EPO foam. The black one is a test made in cheap EPS foam.

    Black looks cool, but white gives more options. It's much easier to paint a white object black than the other way round.

    So I'd suggest to do a white EPO version first, and once the economics permit, to consider a black version.

    If you live in a hot clime, like me at the minute you would vote white to keep your electronics and the machine cooler when flying.

    Also they are easier to spot when you loose them.

  • Jason Wise December 21, 2011 at 1:20am

    Damm! the mass production will be in white!

    I vote black EPO!!!
