Who's building what - 2011

Hey keith.
Back on the forum. Physically in Wroclaw, Poland. Only have EPS foam at the moment. Hopefully it won't take too long to get the EPP.
I have the files to cut a minitoons so will go with that and keep it simple. Will size up to 1.8m from 1.5m.
The basic one seems to fly fairly well and will take a beating. The coroplat tail is not the prettiest or most efficient but will take a hammering and when it's had enough it's easy to replace. So will go with that for now.

Andrew. Will you be doing a build log when you start building the K13. Would love to see how well those laser cut parts go together.
Nice to see you back on the forum Joe.

Some pics to prove I've actually started building:
Couple of the KA3 wing and the pilot from AH Designs
The Jart fuselage at the filling stage. I get it as close as possible using epoxy and filler, then paint with emulsion and sand and paint until I get a nice finish. Fuz shape done using the lost foam method.
The area around the wing seat is strengthened with carbon tape.
Finally for now, the fuz for the 2.5 - 3m slope soarer. It's a nose cone type and I built an internal "keel" for it, again using the lost foam method.
This fuz has a "plain" end to it ie no fin. Still undecied as to V or T tail, although I'm swaying towards T. The wings will be done when I get the CNC machine finalised
