And I wouldn’t mind having the ability to cut white foam.

That would be nice!👍 I also have been trying to figure out a needle cutter....But I want it more click and print than the ERC timer saver👍

I might try to cut out the Mirage 2000 tomorrow, but we’ll see

That's clean. I gotta get me one of these. I could do a lot of other building with the time I spend cutting with a blade.

Nice, but how do you convince the significant other the money spent was worth spending? She thinks all the flying stuff I do is a total waste of HER$$. Btw all $$ that hits the checkbook becomes her control, and No, there is no separation but I do get to spend any change from it.

The one thing I don't like about laser cut foamboard is the shrinkage behind the cut. It does however make a good place for glued in skewers to stiffen the edges of the cottol surfaces.

That's easy. She builds with me. She looked at her own bad cuts and said buy the machine already about 2 weeks ago. She also says I'm not buying foam and power packs fast enough.

I got it for $250. So yes, it was worth it 🤣 (It’s actually worth 1K, but I got a great deal)

That one is a keeper although there are still downsides probably not yet encountered. Give it 50 years and let me know how it worked out if I am still around. You need airborne stuff like recievers and servos too

Well, I would say if servos and receivers and servos are that much of a problem, then you have to stuff to be worked out! (Maybe you just gotta explain the value of it!😁👍)

The biggest is I have problems with storing my own planes what happens when there are two of yea........a bigger house or special storage shed? Or going to the field fight over who`s planes get to go and who`s do not, a trailer may be in the future..
