breeze 9mm epp
this is a carbon copy of dualsky breeze outdoor edition. i bought the kit as a template because it is made out of depron foam . i cant stand depron. in my opinion depron foam planes can cause alot of building time and money. i've had good luck with depron. But with epp its more forgiving.
so i traced it to 9mm 1.3 epp. used the carbon fibers that came with the kit. a couple of slight modification on the tabs since the thickness of epp is thicker than the depron kit.
no need to look at the manual cuz its basic building knowledge. im not goin with the pull pull system they recomend for this bird.
i am using 4 hxt900 for servos. this time dual servo ailerons
for motor esc prop combo.. i am using Hobbyking's combo

epp edge 540 by leadfeather
this is my favorite plane of all time. actually the REAL FULL SCALE. a huge fan of the red bull air race. soo its a must for me to have in the hanger.
this plane is still under construction. almost done tho. just getting lazy to finish it . just been too busy.
all it needs are the control horns for the ailerons. push rods for all control surfaces. all electronics are installed already.
i know it will only take me 30 mins to finish it. but that damn yak55 is just too much fun to fly around.

i did everything within leadfeather's recommendation . the only thing i added was the string bracing cuz i wanted it to be as stiff as possible. and with that i got a very stiff 9mm epp foamie
