Update:
Ok well I've started on the Bf-110. I don't know why I started with that. But I've cut out the templates for most of the parts and yesterday I cut out 10 formers 3 of which are for the cockpit, and 3 cockpit skins.

I'm waiting for my dad to go to work so he can print out the skins for the Simple Stick and then I'll start work on that.

@jpot1 , have you found the files for the fold-over wing on the Pitts Challenger?

I'm waiting for me to crash the SE5 before I start work on the MC Stick.

Hey if you do get to the MC Stick let me know, there are a couple things you might want to mod to make it better. Consultation at no extra charge!

Are you able to reference the cad model? If not, I can post pictures of the important parts.

yes I was. You can post the pictures anyways though

I timed myself and it takes my 2 - 3 minutes to cut out one former.

Wow.. I think you might need a sharper knife! Or I need to make the plane more simple.

idk. I just changed the blade to a new one. I just take my time I guess.

First millionth booboo:

I was putting in the piano wire to connect the two elevator halves when I cut myself. Anyone know how to remove a blood stain?

It is part of the plane now. It just makes it fly better 👍

Want me to design some fake bombs?

 

[Timmy]

Want me to design some fake bombs?

yeah!

 

[tesseract]

yeah!

Forget the bombs, use parboiled tomatoes
Edit: Make the bombs with very weak material, then put the parboiled tomato inside. So when the bomb hits the ground, it makes a giant splat.

What blood stain? All I see is a sign of hard work
Also remember to never apply lotion for 6 hours before you cut the plane. Then your skin gets really strong and it takes a lot of force to cut yourself. I can literally push a thumbpin hard into my thumb, and nothing happenns
