    I have rough cut out the carbon pre-preg panels (1/2” thick). They need to be lightened, holes drilled for wings and appurtenances, and relieved to allow the bend at the back of the fuse to start the taper. A full sheet of the stuff (4’x8’) weighs 11.5 pounds. Only planning three formers -...

    IMAC Pattern - Cadence w/ DA 35

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Discussion What Did Santa Bring You

    Sweet ! Lucky, lucky, lucky. Ha. Those are pretty fun. Was lots of fun until my youngest son flew into his mom’s hair and wound her hair around two motors. It was all fun and games up to that point! Haha

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Couldn’t let you guys have all the fun... My youngest (11) decided he wanted to build a foam plane. So we did. He cut out all the parts. We painted them and glued them. Will have a pick of the finished project tomorrow. Wow that was a lot of fun!!! He started flying my Blade 230s helicopter...
