- Depron wing build - Building a wing from folded 6mm depron using the Experimental Airlines method, with a few tweaks. Leaving the sub-trailing edge about 8mm thick means the aileron blends in nicely to the overall airfoil.
19mm thick x 190mm total chord giving a 10% section with the max thickness 30% back. 1.5m wingspan in 2 halves joined with a Skyshark P4X 7.5mm spar.
Finished weight with 2 x TGY9018 metal gear servos and push rods - 250g
I buy bulk depron from tradewarehouse.com.au The 20 double sized bulk pack for about $212 delivered makes it $5.30 per standard sized board.
Packing tape was from Officeworks. Packs of 5 colours for under $8 (No longer stocked, look in Kmart or on EBAY)

I have 56 years and my pleasure is to make model airplanes from a project because it was with my father who discovered a passion for this sport . and build model airplanes . Rode many Kits Carl Goldberg , Great Planes , House of Balsa, Sig , etc .., and especially onte projects had to cut all the pieces. Excellent video , this is the real modeling . A lesson for those who only think of buying ready model airplanes . Congratulations from Sao Paulo .
Thanks Roberto. I'm always amazed at how nicely the wing airfoil turns out with this method. Designing and building planes is a big part of my enjoyment of this hobby.
Truth Newton!
The best of our hobby are the experiences and discoveries of new materials, new techniques and proof that we can change the model airplanes into something simple, inexpensive for anyone to feel the pleasure of flying a model airplane.
Seeing their model aircraft fly so well, remember that in 1976, following a Model Airplane News magazine project made a Parasol 1929 model airplane in cardboard boxes refrigerators, kkkkkkk, and his flight was spectacular, it was an unforgettable feeling.
congratulations
thanks andrew.. your wing build method simple and esay... its inspire to foam wing built
It was very useful. Thank you for sharing.
Spectacular invension & revulutionary creative genius.I like it.
We need more of this type of videos!
Thank you! Good job!!! From Brazil!!!
fantastic ultralight wing
Toll explained. Step by step without haste. With such simple parts the flight characteristics are fenomenal. Thumps up
TWO Thumps up!! 😜
Nice seeing this in action, mate!
To Andrew Newton,
THAT WAS A FANTASTIC VIDEO! I really appreciate your time and effort. The results speak for themselves too! I hope to try your instructions out. Well done, sir!
Ron
Good luck Ronald, It makes a lovely wing.
Awesome mate. Going to use this.
Very very good job
Great video thanks!
Thank you very much
nice build Video , greets from Germany
Wow! Simply Brilliant: you must be a dab hand at carving the Sunday Roast too!
B-)
Ha thanks Bryan, lot's of scars on my left hand unfortunately
Hi Andrew, I found this video so helpful. This is my first attempt at building foam board wings and I did go through a few boards, it's all in the fold - @ 2:05 I find that line is very important to get a good fold. - thank you for sharing.
Thanks Mark. I agree, the fold is crucial
Good video.ty for sharing
Nicely explained and great detail.... Thanks Andrew
Thanks Ken, are you gong to build one?
Impressive! Thanks for sharing!
No problem. Glad you like it.
This seems like a great way to either prototype or make RTF airfoils. I really like the way you embeded the space for servo wires. Thanks for sharing mate!
Thanks Mike. With some narrow test folds you can perfect the dimensions and come up with sweet airfoils.
I bought a small bansaw, which I'm going to make some molds to experiment with. Pretty exciting stuff.
Excellent work, man! I love it!
Thanks, it make a really nicely shaped glider wing.
really nice Andrew. Thanks for sharing and greetings from turkey.
Greetings from Australia Dogan.
Excellent video
incredible work man.....simple and easy
Thanks, give it a go!
Great vid, subbed . Thanks
Thats going to be me summer project amonst me wifes honey dew list,lol! job well done mate.
Gracias por mostrar su trabajo exquisito.
Great Video 👍
Very nice, I've been tempted to try making an armin wing using depron as our foamboard is a bit too heavy for my liking. You're a lot more scientific with your building than me, I tend to just slap it together and see how it goes :)
Great video.
good job
Very nice sir
Two sheets, sand to airfoil as required. It's so easy to sand, and you can form any foil. Lighter also.
Very good!!!!
A bit late but yt algorythm put this on top of my list just 5 years later ... very valueable fir my understanding + learning.
Nice video tks 4 this.
Andrew, a great instructional Video, straight to the point. I think you should mention the very important fact that you are using Aero grade Depron sheet for wing making in this clip and not the denser standard grade Depron which I use for making a Fuz. In your clip, you simply grooved the LE fold using rounded end dowel, a great method, but unsuitable with the denser grade as its just not possible. Aero grade Depron is 25% less dense than standard grade Depron, and if you are making wings, it makes a big difference. When I make a Fuz, I use standard grade, and cut and glue with joins, not folds, which makes the Fuz a lot stronger.
Thanks English, I'm not aware of the different grades of depron, this is just the cheapest building material I can buy. I do the same as you with fuselage corners, Flite Test "A folds".
Excellent tutorial!
I am now the proud owner of two freshly made depron wings using your/ExperimentalAirlines technique for the first time:-)!
One thing I found is that it might be good to put the first strip of tape so it spans the leading edge fold. If not (no prizes for guessing how I know), the tape may loosen and/or Depron break, if the fold ends up close to where one strip joins to the next.
Looking forward to receiving some spars so I can join the wings and start on the fuse!
Regards,
Matthew
Sweet Matt. Good tip about the leading edge area. I haven't had a problem yet but may have just been lucky.
Love your videos mate and admire anyone that wears crocs on a you tube vid... totall respect... keep em comin
Crocs and socks, what was I thinking. OK lifting the standard from now on.
Wow.... thanks for the info.
I've been gathering knowledge about this.
Gathering knowledge - wonderful words. Good luck with the build
Congratulations, excellent tutorial !!! Greetings from Venezuela
My pleasure Oscar
its very good
Because i 'm happy! thank u for video and embraces e happy new years to family.
digranni Thank you and happy new year to you to.
really helpful
Just found your channel, wanted to say thanks for all your efforts making videos! I will learn a lot from you, I'm sure!
Welcome Rodney, enjoy the journey
@@AndrewNewtonl appreciate your efforts so much.... I also have a dream of making an aeroplane...can aluminum sheet help me to make a plane wing...?
Super...felicitaciones
Awesome!
Very nice
Neat and clean built...superb sir
Thanks Umar
Very nicely , clearly explained totally got it. Thank you sir
You are most welcome
very nice video.. thanks
This is an excellent video. Having not had much time for Depron I'm tempted now. I have to say though that with your knife slicing skills you could have chamfered those spars a bit and made the top surface curvature more progressive.
An extra thumbs-up for the Tyrell Corporation tee-shirt. Well done, sir.
More human than human!
love the crocs
I'm no fashion slave, but they are so convenient.
Excelente técnica 👍👍nessas asas🇧🇷
Good man!
woow nice staff
very nice build. I will use this video to build my wings :)
Luis Huerta Excellent. Good luck with your wings.
very nice built sir :) i will copy this one tnx for sharing
Merwyn Yap : remember that the upper one should slim more than the bottom for curved
I love a good build video.
***** Thanks man. I enjoy making the videos as much as building and flying.
I happen to have an unmolested sheet of 6mm Depron, and have been toying with a few ideas... You just made my mind up for me! Sweet! Oh, subbed too!
Thanks, glad to be of help. Grab that tape and start covering!
very nice.
very good
nice glide
Exlent job
Genius...!!!!!
Thank you very much!!!!
Ed is the genius, I am but a grasshopper.
:)
dude u made my day simply described very well
Excellent, thanks
Aboslutely impressive..! You are a Master of the self made... wooowwwww.....
Ha, thanks Ezio
Thanks for making this video ! I'ts just what I was looking for. I think I will taper the wing tips though...
Bigman74066 Go for it. I'd be interested to see how you do it.
Andrew do you think that this kind of wing must be covered with thermal plastic (like Monokote) if I use foam board instead of depron???
What kind of type do you use?
Good video, and good lesson, thanks
merci, une bonne technique bien expliquée
Thanks, give it a try
oui, je vais l’essayer, elle vaut la peine
Je parle France (very bad)
Nice
EXCELENTE TRABAJO , TENDRAS ALGUN TUTORIAL ALA CON DIEDRO ???
Thanks so much!
My pleasure,
Muy buena ENSEÑANSA me gusta la forma de hacer ese tipo ded ala FELICITACIONES........
+favio lubin moreno camargo Thanks. Hope it works for you.
Top Dankeschön für die schnelle Antwort😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thx 100% interesting👍
Hey Andrew :D
finally a depron instruction video... i just saw the Foamboard one and couldnt find a vendor here in germany who can provide that... now that i saw depron is an option i can finnally start to plan my first own plane... thanks a lot Andrew :D
My pleasure Roberto. Good luck with your build.
Andrew Newton thanks. ill come back here and show you my result ;-)
Check out foamboarden.de
wordreet
nice site but with 1 little issue... i dont need 25 sheets at once... i dont know if ill keep building. maybe im not talented enough. then i would have like 20 sheets of foamboard laying around ^^
I know what you mean, I got some 6mm under floor insulation foamboard from a local shop and I also had some paper covered foam. One year later I still have lots of it here. Hah! I need to fly more, crash more, make more. :¬D
Hey Man I love your video!!!!! nice job Amigo!! greetings....
Greetings and thanks Felix
Bardzo ciekawe.
Thanks...
Thank you soo much😃
+Kerem Soke My pleasure. Go make a wing!
Very good ! Thank you. Greetings from the other side ;-)
+Ralf Grünwald Greetings from this side
Hello. Very nice video.Please tell me what is the material of Spar you use and how long and heavy it is?Can I use wooden spar?Thanx
Спасибо, понравилось!
Excellent
Спасибо. очень полезное видео
Thanks mate
Спасибо, очень хорошая технология изготовления крыла! Надо попробовать.
Yes it works well, give it a try
"Да, хорошо работает, попробуй" -- я понял, спасибо, попробую.
tout simplement génial
merci
best sir
muito bom vou aderir
. aki em casa .....
Excellent, good luck
Good.
Thank you
Thanks for watching
I know this video is like 3 years old but for anyone that might see this, consider adding a little dihedral to these wings if you make them. It will just add a little more stability :)
azatecas your Google+ settings prevent me from replying directly to your comment. The spar is only held in place by friction but it doesnt move.
@@jellomaster5629 use wooden or aluminium spar
@@jellomaster5629 Carbon fiber spar isn't necessary.
"Bob", I've built everything from from Comet and Sterling's tissue paper covered models during the fifties, (and still have a bunch in the attic btw), to 14 ' sailpanes now, so I wanted to give you a piece of advice about making your own spars, you can either buy an 8' long 2"x 4" piece of kiln dried douglas fir, cut it in half (4') and then using an electric planer from Harbor Freight smooth all the sides prior to cutting as many 1/4" x 1/2" or 1/8" x 3/8" spars as you will need in this lifetime.
Doug-fir is slightly heavier than Sitka spruce but it is also stronger so you can build some fairly large models if that's what you want or you can just use it as a spar in a three foot slope glider, or what ever you prefer just as well - or you can just buy a spruce spar at the hobby shop for the same price as what you will pay for an eight foot section of doug-fir which you can make about (36) 1/4" x 1/2" spears from, the choice is yours.
The only drawback here is you may have to purchase a small table saw but if you get into building like I and several other people I know the saw will pay for itself.
Almost forgot, you could also purchase standard fiberglass arrow shafts from an archery store or off the internet and I've yet to have any break yet, and these are in some models which were built some thirty-five years ago.
@@larrywhalen127 thanks for sharing your experience and improving our knowledge 😇
Mimi está bien el video
Great video. Thank you very much, that gave me a lot of inspiration ;-)
I did a full length depron sheet build (2 times 80 cms, total 1,6m span, 17 cm chord, 4 cm ailerons) and wanted to do fulll span flaperons. They turned out a little soft, so I'm thinking, a little reinforcement might be good.Do you sometimes need to stiffen up your ailerons wit a separate spar, balsa or cf?
LaLaObeRoT On big wings (greater than 1.5m) I have found the roll rate is always quite slow and that could be partly due to flexy ailerons. But no I have never stiffened them with spars. What thickness is your depron?
Andrew Newton Thanks for your answer. I use regular 6mm depron. I ended up making new ailerons as the regular ones really seemed to flexible. I made them from 3mm strips of depron. I glued them together with low viscosity epoxy and put a few carbon roving fibres in between. This all adds a tiny amount of weight and takes away a little bit of the beautiful simplycity of the Armin wing. The result is quite satisfying, nevertheless. Stiff but still flexy enough to follow the bend of the wing.
The plane is a pusher, meant for FPV. Skywalker style. Successfull maiden was on sunday :-)
Andrew congratulation on your great videos. my question is where do you get the depron in australia.
mario R Thanks Mario. Depron link is in the video description.
really nice! I see a symmetrical wing in my future. looks like you have depron down to a science but if you ever wanted to try some sheets of dollar tree foamboard, I'd be happy to mail some to you.
Thanks for the offer. I may take you up on that when my derpon supply runs out.
Hi sir, thank you so much for your video. I was wondering if this technique could be used to build a wing for a DLG. Any ideas? Thanks again!
DLG wing needs to be very thin and strong so this would not be the best build method. But you could make a DLG that you throw gently I guess.
