Depron

Does anyone know of a local source of 1 mil depron sheet? I'm trying to build a new indoor plane.

I can't believe that Maritime Hobbies now carries ONLY 3 and 6 mil depron.

If you can use it, I have a small piece of 2mm (10"x30") that you can have.

I expect you'll have to order in the 1mm. RCFoam has a 500' roll for only $450!

Thanks much for the offer, Karl. I have a full sheet of 2 mil now (probably the last sheet that MH sold!).

I'm trying to make do with this for the model I've started, but I would really prefer the 1 mil. Its a 1/20th sport-scale Sopwith Pup, with a 16 inch wingspan. Shooting for a flying weight of under 3 oz. Two mil depron really is over-kil for this model, and will make hitting my weight target more difficult I think.

I don't want to wait for shipping from out of town, so I'll have to work with what I've got on hand.

Thanks, anyway!

Cheers,
Vic
