Sent a Beta version of a kit to Mark Hayes for evaluation, it is using the flite test water resistant foam board for the wings/tail. Since the paper covering is brown it does require paint, and it is sensitive to the type of paint like depron is. Also, it needs some scuffing prior to paint application, and CA and epoxy don't stick well to it so you need to use beacons foam-tac or bob smith foam cure, which is not very expensive, just different. Weight for the foam board version is .5 oz heavier than depron, just due to the paint weight.
Here are the two versions, flite test foam board in Pan Am colors and depron in TWA colors. 9.75 oz for depron, 10.25 for flite test foam board.
