  • That's a neat configuration. I can't wait to see you holding the pole in 30mph winds as you give it the first real world test. ;-) BTW, I never saw anyone cut cores that way. This is the way I learned to do it --> Vid KZl8XqC3c1Y . He used a weight to pull the bow but it can also be done manually. Do the side closest to the table surface first. Comes out near perfect if the wire temp is right.

  • @Fearlessthinker I'll be sure and get some video of me holding the pole if we ever get a good blow like that. :-)

  • Really nice work again

    You keep surprising us every time

    Keep it up :-)

  • @michael970 Thanks!

  • awesome job on the build i hope it works great for you.take care

  • @Caleb6543 When we cut foam model airplane wings of this size, we place the airfoil template forward 0.25-inches from the vertical edge of the foam core block, resulting in a square leading edge once cut. We then glued-on a 0.25" square balsawood leading edge with white glue, and then sanded it to shape.  This makes the leading edge stronger and less prone to dings. Glad you are having fun.

  • @Caleb6543 Well you do awesome work!
