Which one for a beginner who is desperate to get into biplanes with a little aerobatcs into it. (Mastered the tower hobbies trainer). After i saw the forum here on the blitz, people say that depron is better due to carbon reiforcing. I like the depron material becuase i can make extra wings etc, form the derpon poster boards i see in hte art shop accross my school. Please tell me which is better!

I've sold alot of airplanes to guys that are replacing the "Tough" EPP planes.... the most common reason I hear is they are flimsy flyers and lack the rigidity of a Depron plane. The plus is they are a little tougher on impacts...
My opinion is that you learn more when you have a plane that flies better. Depron is extreamly tough when laminated with some packing tape.... and you can buy a few depron birds for the price of an epp.
Depron looks better too...
