EPP Tensor 4D
 

Hi, I finished up my EPP Tensor about a week ago. I built it out of 7mm EPP foam sheets. I just traced it from the e-flite kit. The kit is a little to fragile and dont take any hits. This one does. I dorked it a few times, one time was doing a too low of a knife edge pass and hit the ground. i just tossed it back up and away it goes away. It flies great, and you can't break it easy. It files a little slower from the kit version cause of the thicker foam. You can tork and dork it all you want and dont have to go to the shop to glue it back together or build a new kit. I also used 2 aileron servos on this one compared to the one on the kit. One per wing and then used a "Y" harness. I have an Axi 2208/34, 10x3.8, and a 3 cell 1320 TP li-po pack. I dont have any carbon fiber rods on it yet. I might put some on. There is a little flex, not much. Here are some pictures of the tork and dork tensor.

Ryan, that is an excellent idea. I built up a Tensor kit that I haven't flown yet due to the weather. Where do you buy the foam?
The carbon rods are a real pain, and your plane sounds like a really good alternative. Congratulations.
I haven't flown electric yet, I thought it would go away... :D since so many of my friends are into it I wanted to give it a try.
I fly mostly pattern and sport.

Good pictures, FRED

I got the foam from www.slofly.com It works good, just have to use a sharp razor blade or else it won't cut out right.
I see you are like an hour away from our flying field. We are having 2 flyins and one electric flyin this year. Here are the dates. Are field is wide open and big enough for anything. In sacramento, PA called the Aerobats flying club
June 11-12-fly anything flyin
June 18-Helicopter funfly
July 9-10-Electric only funfly
August 20-21-fly anything flyin
