With some guidance from a younger than me mentor, I ended up purchasing a JTA Yak 54. It can be found here. www.jtainnovations.com/product/32-yak-54/4I'll document my progress, this is my first time building a profile EPP 3D plane. This would technically be my first, but I built a EPP fuselage version of a profile that flew for all of 3 seconds before ending up in the garbage. |

Is it more rigid than DTFB? Thicker? |

Is it more rigid than DTFB? Thicker? It is thicker, but not as rigid. It needs to be stiffened with CF. It is nearly indestructable though. If it does tear, it tears and doesn't crumble/chunk like EPO, and is easily glued back together like new. If it compresses it bounces back, where as EPO stays compressed. |

Well, I am back to making progress on this. What stalled me is that the instructions weren't lining up. After I reviewed them several times, I determined that the instructions were for the older version, and not the newer one, so I have resorted to sticking carbon fiber pieces wherever they seem to fit and hoping that is the right place. I have a pic for reference at least.  2022-06-01_09-16-09 by Burkeomatic, on Flickr |
