Any feedback on the plans would be welcome. I haven't had a chance to go through the build video or build one myself yet. If there are any little details in the plans that need to be addressed, please let me know. Thanks.
I didn't notice any issues in the plans. But I only built one as a test while waiting on an EDF to get here. I did make a few mistakes in my CAM setting it up for cutting but those were my mistakes not the plans. (Silly things, like I did a few through cuts that should have been score cuts and some score cuts that should have been through cuts.)
Since I made a few mistakes, and didn't have an EDF, and my daughter took a liking to the X-29 we made it into a chuck glider:
It actually made a much better glider than I expected
It's a little big for her...but I was able to get better glides out of it than we get out of our sparrows!
One VERY minor quibble is that it was kind of hard to tell the score cuts from the crease cuts - but only because I loose colors when I open the file in my CAM software and the two styles of dashing were hard to tell apart.
However - I do wonder if there might be an issue in the build video. Following along with the video I ran into an issue with the wing. I wound up beveling the two wing pieces on the wrong side. I cut a second X-29 for a friend (after fixing my minor CAM issues) and warned him about my mixup on the wing. A few hours later he messaged me saying he did the same thing despite my warning.
I just got my EDF today so I'll be cutting a third and starting assembly on it this week - will pay closer attention to the video this time to see if I mixed up or if something about the video led me to making the mistake. Just seems odd that two of us would make the same mistake - one after being warned
