This is not your typical Depron Foamie. There are several features that set this kit apart from the ordinary Depron kit. First, there are the laser cut plywood servo trays that allow servo installation without hot glue, then the front fuselage doublers that give this foamie extraordinary durability in the front from those occasional hard landings, and finally the 9mm wing provides extra lift for a floatier flight experience. This kit also features all precut carbon fiber and full hardware package which makes it quick and easy to assemble. Overall this plane can keep up with the best of the 3D foamies in this class, and it has great performance and great looks!
