    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.

  • Dont mind the EPS black limited edition option!....dont plan on crashing much :)

    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.
  • Black!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Damm! the mass production will be in white!

    I vote black EPO!!!

  • >Now the new purple Autopilot is soon out on the street I bet it will fit nicely inside this black bird. I can't wait. The old lazy Skywalker will be retired in my hangar.
