Hello professionals
New to rc hobby beginner here
I want to build my first plane made up of foam.
As i went through many posts here and there i think epp foam sheets would be right for me to began.i dont know of im right or wrong so plz suggest me if to use depron sheets or epp sheets what will be good for a begineer.
I live in mumbai and i dont know where to buy these epp sheets or depron sheets in mumbai some of the professionals said in thier posts that it is available in crawford market but i dont know exactly where.And what to ask them as few people dont know about these sheets
So plz,even im trying to find these depron and epp sheets anywhere in mumbai and if i get any hint about it i will be happy to inform it to all the members

Any help from anyone will be helpful

Epp sheets will flex, another great option is foambords which flitetest uses to make their planes, search flitetest on youtube, they have free downloadable plans for their planes.  You can get depron and foamboard at
vortex-rc.com

Thank you sir for your reply.
Yes,i know about flite test and i am a very big fan of them ,yes they use foam boards from dollar tree or something like that and those foam boards are not available in india(as far as i searched for them on internet and different places),are those foam boards available in mumbai somewhere,where i can buy some foam boards
I even printed thier plan,in a will of making them,   but those printed plans are only on paper ,i really want to build one of them ,i have all other knowledge of building planes,but i didnt build one due to the lack of foam,i have all other parts,motor,servo,transmitter,reciever battery etc.i really want to build the plane
Plz sir any help would prove greatly useful for my first plane
Thank you

Go to www.vortex-rc.com, they are based in uttar pradesh.
I ordered a pack of 20 foamboard sheets from them, recieved them without any issues. They also have speed build kits, with plans already cut on foamboard using laser.
Which plane will you be building first?

[Arjunmali749]

Hey tushar thank you
Im 19 yrs old
I have a problem brother im a begineer and i need only 2 to 3 sheets to start and minimum pack they sell is of 10 sheets ,i dont have any idea of what i will do of the other sheets.
Thank you

[tushar50]

Either you can buy the 10 pack and save other sheets for future builds or buy speed build kit of the plane which you want.
Buying a pack will be more cost saving as a plane generally requires 2 foam sheets.

There are atleast 4 stationary shops near Dadar Station(W) selling foam board....
I don't remember the name of the shops....... so, I am marking the location in the attached image.

A 5mm sheet will cost about 120 Rs.

and what should i ask them,what did you asked?
thank you rply soon

[Arjunmali749]

hey are u sure that i will get foamboards there and if yes than what will be the pricing?have you bought any?do they sell in retail like 2 to 3 sheets
so i may visit both the shops(one mentioned earlier in dadar) and see which ones have better and cheaper price,
it will be a permanent solution to the question where to buy foam boards in mumbai

Freedom to fly thank you for the address
Bringing it from masjid bandar back to vasai was a very big challenge in evening hours,and i did it,feeling like completed a very big mission,
Thank you everyone for putting efforts in helping me and i will soon post images of my first plane
