Foam wings
« on: July 17, 2023, 16:35:16 PM »
Hello,

For a once off project, looking for someone who could cut me a set of wings (and stab maybe).
Size approx is 300x1000mm

Thanks :)

Hey Bill,

Here you are below (roughly, quick drawing), but that's within 5mm of the final drawing

I could cut it with the tapercut by hand, but each side would need to be 2 pieces. My bow won't do over 900m + a taper
