 Here are some of the cuts showing the tail section. |
 The fuse and wing. |
 |
 8-30-05 |
 First Flight 9-3-2005 It is 10.30 pm and I tried her out! She is a bit heavy and under powered. |
 Here is the throw deflections. I am going to move the two rear servos up front..maybe that will help with the CG. |
Never flew well, built to heavy. |
|
2nd Foamie Airplane |
|
|
|
3rd Foamie 9-20-2005 |
 Rear wing and tail group. I cut them at the lowest router setting and fast enough so the foam does not gauge or melt. |
 Awesome, the sides literally "click" into the fuse |
 The main wing. |
 Since the main wing is 40" span I cut it out in two sections. The dovetail joint fits perfectly and requires no glue. |
 Here is the plane so far. |
 I cut out the motor mount using the same bit out of 1/16" plywood. 9-23-2005 |
 Here you can see the balsa I used to strengthen the front of the airplane. |
|

 Here is the foam on the machine. Just tape it down and let it cut. |

 All done and I hope it fly well! 3-20-2006 |

FLIGHT AWESOME!!! The thing floats and flies at 1/8 throttle. Just need to add landing gear. |
 Sharpie markers to the rescue :) |
