Material Choices
At WavRC, we're dedicated to offering you top-quality materials that suit your RC plane's design and performance needs. Currently, we're focusing on two versatile foam materials – EPP and EPO.
EPP Foam: The Resilient Choice
Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) is known for its exceptional durability. It can take some degree of rough landings due to piloting errors
Advantages of EPP Foam:
Impact Resistance: EPP can absorb shocks and impacts, minimizing damage.
Flexibility: This material can bend and flex, which helps prevent breakage.
Lightweight: EPP is incredibly light, allowing for more maneuverability and longer flight times.
Best Used For:
Beginner-friendly models
Stunt planes requiring resilience
Models that need to withstand multiple crashes during learning
EPO Foam: The Smooth Operator
Expanded Polyolefin (EPO) is another excellent foam choice, known for its smooth finish and easy assembly.
Advantages of EPO Foam:
Aesthetic Finish: EPO has a smoother surface, giving your plane a polished look.
Rigidity: Offers a firmer structure, which can contribute to better aerodynamic performance.
Ease of Use: EPO is easy to paint and assemble, making it a favorite for those who value simplicity and appearance.
Best Used For:
Performance-focused models
Planes designed for visual appeal and display
Intermediate to advanced pilots looking for a balance of form and function
