Confidence Layup

This layup was designed to make sure you build things tough enough. The part is supposed to handle at least 10g's, although I've tested mine at 11g's at an EAA meeting to show off. I am proud of workmanship on this piece and so is my dad. I tried very hard and gave very close attention to my work. If I ever have a nice desk at a future workplace, I will use it as a fancy name plate.




I plan to do the practice wing next, due to the leftover requirement of building the wings. I'm currently working on assembling a simple hot wire foam cutter. One of my buddies from the RC club has got a CNC foam cutter working. We believe that if we can get the files onto the computer and if we enlarge the size of the machine, we should be able to CNC cut the wings. This should allow for much less work and hassle.We might just attempt this with the practice wing.
