Building a wing from folded 6mm depron using the Experimental Airlines method, with a few tweaks. Leaving the sub-trailing edge about 8mm thick means the aileron blends in nicely to the overall airfoil.
19mm thick x 190mm total chord giving a 10% section with the max thickness 30% back. 1.5m wingspan in 2 halves joined with a Skyshark P4X 7.5mm spar.
Finished weight with 2 x TGY9018 metal gear servos and push rods - 250g
I buy bulk depron from tradewarehouse.com.au The 20 double sized bulk pack for about $212 delivered makes it $5.30 per standard sized board.
Packing tape was from Officeworks. Packs of 5 colours for under $8 (No longer stocked, look in Kmart or on EBAY)
This airplane was made of 5mm and 10mm depron foam , balsa wood and plywood, carbon fiber rods for the wings mount , white vinyl and all the stickers were cut in a plotter machine
