Thank you for purchasing the BP Hobbies/E-aero EPP Pitts. Please take the time to read through the
instruction manual before beginning the build. If you have had little or no experience working with EPP
foam it requires some patience to work with it. Although the Pitts is not hard to build, it is certainly
different than building a balsa or EPS foam plane. A few things about EPP foam. There are only a few
glues that will stick to EPP. Regular CA, thin, medium and thick will stick well when used with
accelerator. Hot melt glue sticks well but can not be left in a hot car as the high heat will soften the glue.
Epoxies, white glue and foam safe CA do not work on EPP foam. Put a brand new sharp blade in your
hobby knife. Dull knives do not work well with EPP foam. To paint the Pitts we used Krylon brand
indoor/outdoor spray paint and stencils made from card stock.
