Jayz,
Just post something that shows the whole plane so that we can see the spinner. A few pics like Nic posted at the end of his build log in the first post. Thanks man. Did I ever mention how much I love this forum? It feels like we're all friends from the FT RC Club.
Sure jaxx i can do that for you when i get the chance. Unfortunately i think i pulled something in my back a week ago and the pain has hit me hard this weekend to the point. I couldn't get out of bed so stuck on the couch all day. But sure will get you them pics. And i love this foam to it really dose feel like were a club of friends.(would be cool if we could all fly together)
Jayz,
Thanks. There's no rush; just whenever you get around to it. Hope you feel better soon. That back stuff is no joke. Been there, done that, and hope it never happens again. It's some painfull stuff. I did that one time, and couldn't get out of the car when I got home from work. Had to call the wife from my cell, and have her come out to help me.......and I'm not even old yet. I'm just glad there was nobody around to see it. It was pretty amusing to see me trying to get out from behing the wheel.

Now you have no choice but to build two right wings, two fuselages, and eventually two planes. I do the same thing, but I mark my straight lines with a pin hole on each end, then remove the plan and join the holes with a straight edge. Then I just flip the plan over, and use the same holes from when I traced the left wing.

Ya man thats were im at today. Yesterday was alittle painful with holding my little one. Today if felt like my back was broken. Its at my spin and hip joint so anything i do period kills me
Oh that's a bummer. I do that to my neck sometimes.. nothing ruins everything faster than back problems.
Nah. I started using one half of the wing plans to trace both when I was printing the tiled plans. I found that once they were taped together, the plans for the individual wing halves where not a perfect match (I could never get them perfect when I cut and taped them together). So using one half of the plan to trace both the left and right wing halves ensured the two sides would match more closely. It also saves paper if you only have to print one half of the wing.

yeah I see why. I just didn't think ahead haha. I tried cutting the bevel on the first one anyways and they 2nd I sanded. sanding worked much better. so redoing it isn't that bad a thing.
I'll try and snap some pics.

If my schedule allows me to im going to try to be there next year
Awesome, thank you Nic
I just started to record (filming) the build of my right wing, i am experimenting with technics to create the bevels ;-) turns out not to bad for a first. But i am sure i can get them perfect with practice.
The aluminium flat i have around are 3/4in 1/8in, do you think they are worth a try ? or maybe too heavy for the bird...

Thats great to hear your wing is coming along. And your learning new ways. Just keep i mind to take your time. Its no fast task and one of the most important parts of the wing build. But for your spar 3/4 is too tall for this build were using 1/2in by 2/8 or 3/8 in thickness you can prob get away with 1/8 thickness depending on you speed goal but 3/4 tall wont work

With cooler weather on the way, I'll have to put some time into building an nnMig3. Bring on the hot glue burns.
