You should be sorry... Over 12hrs! :wink:
I'm in for one (I'll check with Eanna - he might be interested too). 1.8m sounds good to me, or anything in the 1.5 to 2m range.
What aerofoil? How about TP42 root, TP29 tip?

I haven't looked at these in any detail but they should be very suitable for this type and size of plane.

P.S.
The only EPP I have is a little bit of sheet for indoor planes. Where can blocks be got?

Yeah, I know :oops: On call for the week for work... Tired! :cry:
For the profile, well, whatever you want ! :D Must be thick enough for the spar system though, but I'll check on the plan and come back to you in the morning.
Ok, checked for EPP blocks... Found 900x590 x 150 block for 49 euros... 20kg/m2 + shipping.
Bit more expensive than Bill's link, but we can in theory make an entire model out of 1 block... I check that with the plan.
Have other links for EPP, but prices are roughly the same, or if not, shipping is the killer!
I'm waiting for an answer from a big French company (GTI) who sells EPP to your specs, and were cheap the last time I checked 2 years ago... We'll see!
Anyway, I check the plan tomorrow to see what material we need for a model, can be a good base for people to join the party or not :D
I can also build an EPP prototype before deciding! I just need a good friend with a cnc machine :D :D O:)

--- Quote from: "Fred" ---Thanks for the link Bill.
I know a few EPP dealers, I check for prices and sheet sizes.
So, to make sure, who would be interrested in an EPP VTPR thingy model ? (the one above, or another one... I have the plan for the Minitoon, Padawan (82cm WS though... But I can enlarge it...))

What's the plan? Decide on a spec everyone likes and cut a bunch of wing cores and fuselage profiles?
If that's the plan I'd be happy to go with either the Minitoons or your design. I'd go with the consensus on size but preferably 1.5m or more. 1.8m sounds good.
I gave Eanna a call and he wants in too.

Interested :D
Funds might be the big hold back! :( :cry:
Fred:
Hi Aidan,
Yep, if everyone can decide to join in or not, I'll move that thing forward, and we can sart to talk about the EPP order for everybody :D
I'll post the full plan etc etc of mine to give a good idea of the thing.
I can also enlarge a Swinger, Minitoon if you want, or the Padawan or whichever design you prefer :D But my preference will be for everybody to have the same, more like a group project :D (and easier to have them cutted, all the same)
I don't mind, I go with the majority for the model :D
