hi friends ,
let me share an experience with EPP.
i was trying my new piaget EPP model, first flight directly to 3d and that too indoor, it hit many times to walls and ground but i was sure nothing will happen, but when i analysed the model after flight i found a small crack in the fuselage,

do not make habbit of crashing EPP models many times, it do break on hard hitting,
but anyways its best crash resistant foam ever,
i am happy atleast i was able to do successfull hovering first time on first flight itself.
;D

Amir ,
It is not breaking of EPP but more of tearing like cuts which could be caused  due  to prop or sharp objects at the place where it crashes .
In my piaget I have taken off the landing gear and reinforced with local EPP the joints like where the fuse and the wing join with local EPP.
I have also stuck local EPP like a skid on the bottom of the plane instead of landing gear. With that the piaget can take any type of landing anf hits very well without tearing.

Nope Amir. I was constantly  telling Sai and others that the only type of planes I used to fly regularly are the foam ones.  I really enjoyed building from such ARF foam kits, and posted threads like :

I think Sai got the idea of bringing such planes to the Indian market from these discussions. I was just kidding about the "credit" part  ;)
