Construction
The Zulu is made of Expanded Polyolefin (EPO), which is a combination of EPP
(Expanded Polypropylene) and EPS(Expanded Polystyrene), giving it structural
rigidity with enough flexibility to resist permanent dents. The Carbon spars have
already been installed and glued in place.
Controls
The Zulu uses four control surfaces that are driven by only two servos. The aft
surfaces are elevons (elevator and aileron), and the forward surfaces are
drooperons (leading-edge droop and aileron). The drooperons give the Zulu a
lower stall-speed, allowing for improved minimum sink-rate and tighter turns.
When inverted, the surfaces deflect the opposite directions, automatically giving
this same benefit. The drooperons also increase roll-rate, prevent tip-stalls and
open up a wider range of aerobatic maneuvers. Tight outside loops, a stable
deep-stall maneuver and an impressive continuous tumble are in the inventory of
crowd pleasers.
Recommended Building Materials

glues
• Glue for fin installation and general EPO repairs: Beacon's Foam Tac
• Small and medium-size Phillips screwdrivers
• Razor blades
• Sand paper
• Small weights for balancing
