Superslo28" Build,Tip,Tricks thread!
Ok everyone I'm building the Superslo28 by sloper steve this was a plane that I was told about that used to be found on Steves Website.
Sloper Steve was the first Guy Using EPP for planes and I want to say started the trend for a different kind of foam in the hobby. https://youtube.com/subscription_cen...user=tallguysd This build starts after you have printed and cutout all the Epp foam parts, and the basic information found here can be translated to all the plans that are on my site.. Ok so the first thing that you will need to do is Download the free plans for the Superslo28. The free plans can be found on my website at http://www.sdparkflyers.com or in the photos below. You will need to print the plans out on 8 1/2 x 11 sheet paper The Foam used to build the plane is 1.3# 9mm EPP foam a sheet 18 x 36 is required to build the kit If you need help finding EPP foam PM me... OK so in the pictures below I have cut out all the parts The next step I do is cut all the 45 angles on the Ailerons/Elevators and the rudder. Then I make sure that on the wing section I want the 45 cuts on the top side of the wing so I flip the wing over and mark 2 1/4 inch down from the front tip of each wing lay out a piece of 3mm carbon and make a couple marks for a center line. I then use my dremel to cut the slot. (this is my favorite method fast and clean) after I cut the slot I test fit the carbon and cut to length. I don't glue the carbon until all the slots have been done this way I can do it all at once, I use Foam tac glue to build all my kits. I then tape all the parts of the wing together and set it aside and move onto cutting the Elevator and rudder parts. I repeat the carbon process on the elevator and set it aside the last part I cut is the Fuselage I use a pieces of scrape foam to make sure the thickness of the wing slot and elevator are the same thickness of the foam. makes for a perfect fit. I then repeat the Carbon process again for the Fuselage (I use 3mm for all the carbon parts) on the fuselage you can put it on either side. Sorry at this time do to work schedule I do not cut kits for people anymore. If you are a club and need a 10 pack of Superslo 28 kits cut for your club and live in the USA email me for details (this is for foam only kits) Recommended equipment (found on Amazon) as of 2/7/2019 EPP Foam check out http://www.wmparkflyers.com (9mm 1.3# Epp is what you want) Radio Spektrum DX6E 6Ch Transmitter https://amzn.to/2tbzWqT Tenergy TB6-B Balance Charger Discharger 1S-6S Digital Battery Pack Charger for NiMH/NiCD/Li-PO/Li-Fe Packs LCD Hobby Battery Charger https://amzn.to/2GtSV7L New Hextrinik HXT500 6.2g 0.6kg .08sec Micro Servo rc airplane https://amzn.to/2WPCbO4 SG90 Micro Digital Servo Motor SF0180 RC Helicopter Airplane https://amzn.to/2WKZOY2 Du-Bro 915 Mini E/Z Connectors https://amzn.to/2GgNU3c Dubro 847 Micro Pushrod System https://amzn.to/2N1vZy9 Beacon Foam Tac Adhesive Foam Glue https://amzn.to/2t8unJC hexTronik 24gram Brushless Outrunner 1300kv https://amzn.to/2E0hhoa Du-Bro 848 Micro Control Horns (2-Pack) https://amzn.to/2tdvEzb Turnigy Plush 10amp 9gram Speed Controller https://amzn.to/2teCbJG 3mm Diameter x 500mm Carbon Fiber Rods https://amzn.to/2teEYTa 9050 props https://amzn.to/2MRYaiG 2Packs 2S 7.4V 450mAh 20C Lipo Battery Pack with JST Plug https://amzn.to/2t9kg7v Velcro https://amzn.to/2WQLux1 2mm Gold Plated Male & Female Bullet Banana Plug Connector for ESC Battery https://amzn.to/2TxNNDj 20 AWG JST Plug Connector 2 Pin Male Female Plug Connector Cable https://amzn.to/2WNjgn4 3 mm Dia 30 mm Long Heat Shrink Tubing https://amzn.to/2Gi9LqM __________________________________________________ ___________ ImagesView all Images in thread

Tallflyer...
Rain in San Diego?? Somebody alert the media! I like the Superslo's, I've tried to make 2 now and they were cool, but just didn't fly correctly...I did something wrong... Are there any "precut kits" of these babies that I could just plug my servo's, esc, motor, and battery into and fly? bob |

video series
New Video Series how to build a EPP type foam airplane.
Plane being built is the Slofly Superslo28 these tips and tricks can be used to build most plans that start using a PDF type file. Part 1 how to cut a template.
Part 2 how to cut foam pieces.
in part 2 you don't have to trace the part if you just use the template like I do I just like to trace it out to make sure I don't move the template around when cutting. Part 3 how to cut a 45 and how to make hinges with strapping tape.
Part 4 how to install micro control horns
Part 5 How to install a motor mount
Part 6. How to Hot wire a 45 cut
part7 how to dremel cut a wing slot
Part 8 How to Epoxy a carbon rod.
Ok know we all do this different but after hours of research and some trial and error this is the best basic method I came up with.
Enjoy (warning you will see in the video I use a heat gun there are people out there that use a lighter to shrink the tubing. CA glue will cause a fire) DO NOT USE A LIGHTER in my method. My method while it uses heat its not a flame. (FLAME WILL CAUSE FIRE) Hey 2 new videos What I use to glue EPP video and weight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr-JR9uCqOg How to balance a Plastic prop and why!
