Made a start on the 30cc plane rebuild. Started on the wings. The one wing had minor damage just the wing tip and counter balance was knocked off. The second wing a little more had build a new leading edge and fix most of the ribs but that is done now all that needs to be done is cover the wings and add some stripping.

All the new bulkheads have been cut for the fuselage and they are on the way. Hopefully I did not make to many mistakes in the Cad drawings and if I did can it be fixed. See how good the postman is.
Just sat down and had a look at the servos required for the plane. The ailerons and rudder are so big I need at least 200 oz-inch servos to do the plane justice.

Spent some time doing some AutoCAD, that is one thing with AutoCAD if you don’t use it all the time you sure lose it fast. But anyway made a drawing of a 45 inch wingspan, 950 sq-inch Area Delta plane to see how it all fits. Well it doesn’t if you take a look at the drawing just cannot get the battery in. So unless I come up with some kind of solution this project is dead.

Don't kill the project. Looks neat. Modify it so it will work. on another note if you want to learn a 3D software it helps so much with seeing how things are going to fit together.

Love to learn 3D how would you suggest I approach it. Is there a good book for dummies.
