Fiu, lets all build one
« on: March 14, 2016, 15:12:37 PM »
After a discussion at the weekend it was suggested that we all build one of these for a mass launch in Sept. Anyone interested?
See below for the old thread,

I think Fred can be persuaded to make a dozen or so kits ;D

Oh boy!

Ok, I send a mail to Laurent (the designer) to grant me permissions to cut a bunch for us, and come back to you.

I can print the plan for everybody (A3 Color  :) )
I have a Fiu somewhere! But will be much quicker to build a new one than trying to find it!  :-[

Oh boy!
What have you done!!  :'( :'(

Ok, I sent a mail to Laurent to allow me to laser a bunch of kits.
I should have them ready for the April meeting.
I will print the plans also.
Cost, same as what Laurent was doing, 10€ a kit if everybody is OK with that.
You will have to add the TE (4x25mm, but I need to order wood, I can check price and do a group order for that if anyone interested) I ave 4mm balsa otherwise, can do the TE that way, just lots of sanding :)

Ok, had a mail exchange from Laurent (http://www.jivaro-models.org) and we have the go ahead  :) :)
The deal is that we send him pictures of the finished models  :D

I'll get cracking next week, and will keep you all up to date.
