For some reason I can't post a heic image on here. Anybody know why?

What is the file type?

Finally have all my plans cut out. I was super meticulous as it’s my first build, and I want to be as nice as possible. All the parts are in, after I was able to get some pushrods from the hobby store this week. I’m thinking of putting minwax on the inside of the plane wherever possible, to waterproof it from the inside too

Let the cutting begin!

I probably spent about 8 hours total cutting this out, I'm all for the build process and I'm taking my time, I just didn't expect it to be this much cutting. I know I'm not out of the woods yet, especially with the depth and bevel cuts. I was generously offered use of a laminator, so I ran the smaller pieces that would fit and now I am cutting out all the smaller pieces again...

Let the cutting begin!

When I built mine I lowered the battery tray to let the battery go forward more easily. Experiment with a before gluing

Yes. The forum doesn't support HEIC files.

That's what I normally use.

Well? Does it fly as nice as it looks? Killer job on this

Once it's dialed in yes.

It can get VERY squirrely though.

Getting close to finally touching some glue. 3 pieces left to cut this evening, and I’m waiting on corrosionX that I forgot to order. I can get some of it built before I have to install electronics

My first foamboard airfoil. It’s not perfect, but that’s what up-elevator trim is for, right?

Don't matter if it's a wee bit bent or warped, as long as it the same amount, same direction on both sides of the fuselage.
