I have not contacted them as yet so i'm not sure if it is epp, i dropped the idea of using epp because my fpv kit was too bulky so i moved on to nitro powered balsa plane  :thumbsup:

This is one made with EPP India foam. Found the foam flexible in comparison to others, four GF rods for the fuse and single 4mm CF tubes are reinforcements which has made it almost indestructible.

Foam was found to be porus drinks thin CA. Good idea to use thick CA, dentrite, hotglue, araldite.

What is the difference between epp and "pp" foam? I found pp foam in abundance here in kolkata. Tough but very flexible.(i think 1mm sheets of this is used in those CD pouches)
It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law.

I think CD/DVD pouches come in PU foam....

The foam I am talking about goes by the pp moniker in the local markets. It is also used as padding in cushions and bags. I will obtain a sample and post a macro shot of it. But I fear it is too flexible for rc use.

HD foam is  specially made  foam sheets of 30kg/Cu.m we get made .
Regular Thermocole is around 10 -12 Kg/Cu. m

I wanted EPP sheets and Mushtaq Fozan(owner of ABDULLATIF HABIBBHOY AND SONS)
has got in reach with an EPP supplier, sheets size is 10mm and he will be ordering 100MM sheets which can be then cut to either 5mm or 10mm based on the requirement of size.Sizes like 3mm,6mm and 9mm are also possible but only if requirement for these sizes is big. ;D

Problem is that a bulk order needs to be placed and so he requires at least 20 buyers for the sheets.
The colour of sheets is black and Cost of 5mm sheet is Rs.1000.

But if bought in bulk it will reduce, so if you are interested in buying 5mm or 10mm EPP
Please pm me or fozan(http://www.rcindia.org/profile/?u=7246)   

After 20 buyers are confirmed the EPP sheets will be acquired and shipped after each buyer has made payment.

Hi RCNEIL21,
I suggest you stick to white EPP as you will find painting black sheets is a pain and you will regret buying the black ones.... I bought charcoal Depron sheets and ended up buying white ones again.
Why not stick to someone who holds stock already; rc4all.....?

After trying for EPP Foam in India, I acquired some sample from a Chinese Manufacturer. Posting the pictures below.
10mm thick and 40mm thick





I am planning to send the samples to some forum members for their confirmation in few days.
