What??? Another way to cut bevels?

[checkerboardflyer]

One of the problems that you may have when building foam board models is how to cut bevels for control surfaces. You’ll see modelers cut the bevels free hand, but that didn’t work for me. And there are some tools that you can buy; bevel cutting tools. I bought a few. Just not happy with the result. So I created my own with some wood yardsticks from Ace Hardware. I call it my bevel cutting guide. I made a video attached. Hope you find it helpful. More tips for foam board R/C model builders on my blog: https://foamboardflyers.com

I glued two pieces of plywood at a 45 degree angle and glued sandpaper to the inside of the 45 just another way to do it.

My last video showed how I made a foam board bevel cutting guide with a couple of yardsticks. It needed to be cut with a table saw, so I decided to make another that does not need power tools. It’s made with foam board and balsa triangle strips. If this sounds interesting to you, watch the video. More tips for foam board R/C model builders on my blog: https://foamboardflyers.com

I just use 3D printed ones:

Those are really neat! Thanks for the links. I probably need to learn about 3D printing.

No problem! I haven't used the first one I linked but I did print out the seconds et from PETG and they work well.

Also if you have a Microcenter near you they're having a new customer sale with an Ender 3 Pro for only $99
