    3D Viper-ST 100-120cc scratch build......it continues!

    It amazes me when using my table saw with a coarse,carbide tipped saw how clean and smooth the cuts turn out. I use mine for truing sheeting and sizing some balsa. Never tried cutting the ail,elev,rudder stock like you are doing. I do basically the same thing, but use my band saw.

    3D CAP 232-ST design / build / prototype

    Nice ! Good to see something different. And Yes a CAP can be designed to not be snappy. I modified the old Great Planes .60 size kit to fly like a pattern plane years ago. It stalled straight ahead and wings level. and did it at very slow airspeeds. Those were the notorious CAP 21's. Moved...

    3D Demystifying Vacuum Bagging of foam wings!!

    I made one similar to yours. Works great, even with a regular table saw blade. Just don't use it in my shop... Sure will make lots of dust and a mess on the floor.:mad:

    3D Covering???

    I have done many planes with Ultracoat and then painted the trim. Works great if done right,but makes repairs a bit complicated.
