"What is Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)?"
See our EPS video
The cockpit enclosure is covered with a skin of expanded polystyrene, ½” (1.3 cm) thick.

Most people encounter EPS as white foam cups or plates or packing material for
electronics.  EPS is also a common insulating material found at many home improvement
stores and sold in 4 foot by 8 foot sheets.  EPS is not Styrofoam.  

The material we are using consists of a polystyrene core sandwiched between two thin
layers of plastic.   The thin plastic coating makes the material easy to work with and provides
a good painting surface.  EPS is flexible, but can break if bent too far.  We show you in the
video how to work with it.

"What is Extruded Polystyrene (XPS)?"
See our XPS video
Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) may also be used for the DIY project.  

XPS can appear blue or pink.  The blue XPS is also known as Styrofoam, a trademark of the
Dow chemical company.   The pink XPS is Foamular, a trademark of Owens Corning.
XPS is a common insulating material found at many home improvement stores and sold in 4
foot by 8 foot sheets.  

XPS is more sturdy than EPS, but it does not bend as well.
