After drawing up the a rough wing plan in CAD (I actually used a proven airfoil for this project!) i printed out the rib profiles and tack glued them to some sheet. I used a Balsa stripper to keep the cuts as square as possible. Using a Scalpel blade which is thinner than an Exacto made this easier.

Hello. It's been a while! I'd like to add a model to the list. "Scratchbuilt RØMØ Own design". This will be a small Slope Glider with Pivot wings that I can travel with on my journeys throughout Europe. Starting with a trip to Denmark in a couple weeks to the Island of... RØMØ. Hence the name..haha. I have moved to Germany and finally have some time to build. Yay!!

Installed.Needed to add reinforcement to the stringers because the Fairing overlapped the bulkhead.

After cooling there still was a bit of spring back, but sure made it easier to locate and mark where the recesses are to be cut.

Since the Softener does work on the adhesive in the ply, A heatgun was used to soften up the glue during the forming. During this stage I repeatedly wet the ply with water to help the bend. When the water steams off the part, you know it's hot enough!

Canopy Fairing. 1/64" ply soaked in "Super Soft 2" veneer softeneir. This stuff doesn't have any amonia or vinegar in it so it doesn't smelll that bad. Works pretty good too. The form is Bass.

A bit off key, but, since I lost my original wedding band years back I thought my wifey might like it if I showed a bit of commitment. Made this out of 6al4v Titanium (for the band) and some Macume Gane three layer (silver, copper white gold) for the insert.. The band has undercuts to allow the Macuume Gane to be swedged in. No soldering.

Changed the bit for the larger intake (Harbor Freight has a really nice diamond bit kit).

I decided to use some diamond points to bore the holes instead of a standard drill bit to keep the glass and balsa from shredding.
