Excellent tune. Thanks for using that group. Sonia Dada does good music too.

How did you get the foam to curve for the fuse? Did you cut lines on the inside of it? Or outside? Heat? - Ed

@ed5k

Good music is all I do.

lol

For the fuse, I traced out my dimensions, with tabs and slots then wrapped the piece around the expansion post in the basement overnight. the nose was one piece, the cockpit was another, and they were glued and taped onto the main body.

Fan-Fold is pretty soft. Like a "rubbery-ish" Depron.

@MoonlitKnight81

Thanks!

I ended up taking it apart today. =^/

Gonna try a smaller size, but basically the same build style.

For "just cuttin n' pastin foam, she came out nice. Usually you just see a wonky looking profile fuse, but you do a nice job of coaxin that foam into real airplane shapes. You been taking lessons from that neffwaffe guy?

@j6sj7

Thanks, I'm trying some different things.

No, I'm no Neffwaffe.

Tell me it doesn't need a rudder!

Who said I wanted you to follow my designs, anyway?!?!

X-P

[JettaManDan09]

If you said "i need a rudder" one more time i'd have to come and add one myself to shut you up! ;-) lol..i think you need to take up basket weaving personally..you've convinced me NOT to follow your designs too...HAHAHA! ;-)

Great Job Matt, do you have plans to have the canards working? it could help with the nose up attitude.

Keep up the good work my friend.

That's a nice piece of kit Matt ! Great looking plane. Funny to see that with every throw she flies better and better. You"ll get there .. I'm watching ;-)
