Joel "MetroGTI" Dirnberger Designs EPP BluFO

Customers are always asking me "What do I need to complete this kit?"
This page contains all the pieces specifically for building and flying the EPP BluFO.
You will need batteries, a transmitter and a receiver as well.

Joel was inspired to come up with his design after he took some liberties with the original Blue Foam Wonder which itself has been around for sometime. He both stylized it even more and developed a better flying aircraft to boot. The name reflects the fact that the originals were built out of blue fanfold foam. Several additional variations have evolved including an EDF version and a couple of float planes. The current EPP version which is very durable for full contact combat events and FPV.
