Looking good
@Berekiah . Hope you didn't get much damage from that face plant.
Slow with progress here BUT progress is being made. I did manage to get most of the top hatch pieces cut out and ready to be glued and put in place. Also cut out the front cowl...it was a fun little piece to cut:

Almost ready to start forming it to shape. I've been soldering my electronics today. Got the ESC and BEC soldered together...

I ran out of my one size of shrink wrap tubing so I'll need to grab that before I can finish up soldering the motor connectors. Do you guys use bullet connectors or do you directly solder your ESC motor leads to your motor? There for a while I was doing bullet connectors, but I have started to get away from that and doing direct solder connections. I thought of doing a direct solder for the Edge. The only issue for direct solder is if the motor runs in reverse I have to undo part of it.
I figure to sort of follow along on the video and do the motor/cowl first before doing the top hatch...so I can make sure things line up ok. I had also got one wing half cut out as well as the spar. About to cut the other wing half out as well. I think I am going to add a paint stick between the 2 wing halves to give it some strength. I was very surprised that wasn't included for the Edge.
