Combat? He's not showing the CF rods embedded in the leading edge...
I was supposed to do that, huh? Wait, did I do it already.
Can't remember.I guess we have to learn it the fun way.
Getting there.
Managed to work on the tail section. The v stab braces,
and it's connection to the Fuselage. Mission requirement is to fold it flat.
Lastly, it is time to piece it together and see how she looks!
Room for a cockpit, pilot and stabilizer unit.

Soon she will be alive…..just add some electricity doctor…
I spent some time yesterday getting some work done on the second NOOB as I try to find my LEDs that are going to go in the first 300% NOOB Wonder.
In a short while. Most of the parts are laid out and ready for cutting. This time around, I plan to uses two glue guns, as I noticed I was laying down glue fast than it can keep up with, and if I wait for it to cath up, the glue solidifies some. lets hope it works.
Fuselage and formers, wing skins
laying out the wingtip panels
The vertical stabilizers
Wing formers
Adding some extras using the former patterns.
I have the fuse trussing, and inner box to layout.

This weekend was productive and tiring and exciting! Yesterday was a big day.
Joe and I got together to finish the one, and start the other.
Noob #2 underway.
Formers
spar trussing
box spar and the trussing skewered with the broom-handle wing joiner tube.
Joe having fun
Joe soldering
spar almost ready

While Joe did that, I worked on the finishing touches of build #1.
This is the box in a box design for strength.
motors got mounted to sturdy firewalls to fit over the center box
mounter to yet a 3rd yet smaller box. It is very important the front edge had the same angle as the front of the fuse.
then we put all the things together and weighed them. 10lbs AUW.
It's tough to find a spot to assemble this!
The ESC was recommended to be out side so it get cooling air.
And let's put the battery in snug
the logo looks good
Then we packed it up and in caravan fashion, Joe, Amy, Mike (@Yankee2003 ) and I hit the field, Ready for the maiden.

Then with a 4-car Caravan, when headed out to the field.
We started with a gentle toss in the tall grass:
Then Matt took it into the Air:
Then Joe gets a hand at it too:
Afterwards we took the success momentum and had our own wonder jumble
I couldn't get an more pictures as I joined in too. We flew a number of energetic circuits some in formation, some in playful combat like maneuvers. Thing stopped when we heard a RRRrrpt! And I cut throttle when I saw my motor hanging from the front of the plane. Luckily I brought it down safely. It seems that the previous crash had created hidden damage, that only became clear during the rigours of combat.
It was an amazing day!

Yours isn't so bad either.
This next step is the most important and critical. The setting of the spar.
This setting of the spar didn't go as smoothly as I hoped.
The spar holder. Transfers load to the fuse, or is it to the wings.
put them in, get them level
both the fuse and the spar
After the wing skin roll debacle. I was pleased to see this line.
Checking alignments
a last shimming before gluing the doubler plates
Finally happy with the results.
Now I can start moving forward.

I debated a while during the builds how I was going to do this design scheme. as this was a podcast project, I was going to put it podcast colors, and put our podcast logo/mascot? On it. I had decided on blue feathers. One has a positive, the other a negative.
I landed on a sunburst. Orange for me, and blue for my co-host Joe.
our personal icons were going underneath.
This way we knew who was flying what in combat. (Should the both go)
Joe's:
mine:
here's most of the top. (Big birds are hard to photograph in small spaces)
One, all done.
NOOB#2 left. It should go quick.
