It's starting to take shape. This, revised upper wing has laser cut parts, all the rest hand cut. |

Finally got to the fueslage. I misplaced my small try-square that day, found it later. |

Printing parts on paper and sticking them to the balsa is a lot better than back in the days of carbon paper, but this is another thing that goes a lot quicker in laser cut. |

Have the plans redrawn and am now working on the lower wing. Things like this strut pocket will work much better in laser cut. |

My first try at the wing. This is my first project using a drafting program. I'm never going back to T-square and triangle! The reference I was using wasn't accurate and the wing outline is wrong. Also, I didn't like the placement of the spars, rib spacing and the airfoil I was using so, "back to the drawing board!" |

My inspector, Schrodinger, is approving the plans and scrutinizing the quality of the die cutting. |
