    EPP is undoubtedly very durable, but it is also very heavy.
    You can make strong models from it but personally, I don't like their flying characteristics.

    White foam or depron are much lighter, and are good for flying models.
    And fibreglass, Kevlar or carbon fibre are far stronger, allowing thin wings that fly beautifully.

    Also, don't forget the obvious choice...balsa. It is still the strongest natural material, strength for weight, cheap, and wonderfully fast to build with.

    If you are looking for model aircraft plans : there are a huge amount of free plans on the Dublin Mountains Slope Soaring Site
    Go to the links page to get the weblink.
