Default Re: Foamy Season is here - Milling Depron Foam -> A How To

Looks great.

I know they aren't designed to crash but doesn;t this milling make them a lot weaker and a bit of a pain in the butt to repair. I guess what I mean is they are super light to begin with an dhave insame power, so what is the real benefit. I understand your reference to weight savings in the Carden, but with the low wingloading the indoor machines have I can;t see the benefit for averag joe pilot other than it being a fun new project?

Please describe the flying benefits you can easy tell are related to the lightening of the frame.
