Default RE: GREAT PLANES FLATOUTS

All
I bought a Great Planes Reflection; after looking at instructions and kit pieces realized how much time was involved to build; no way was I going to invest that much time for a plane that probably wouldn’t survive long.
What to do: buy 2 sheets (12x36) of 9mm White EPP, 1 sheet (12x36) of Black EPP, 6 1/8” carbon fiber tubes and some hot glue plus gun. Use the Reflection kit parts as a template. Construction time less than building original kit, hot glue is fast on EPP. Also has hot glue hinges. Plane flies great with Hacker A20-26M Prolite 3S1P-910. Plane in PIC with red dots is Reflection, the rest are copies of wood 3D planes in EPP.
Couldn’t count the number of times I’ve hit the ground or gym floor without damage, if damage happens just carry a BIC lighter and hot glue stick.

Forgot flies well in the wind
