Sorry guys, but my building is ZERO !
I am awaiting an EPP dream machine, and hopefully a Fox. The Fox may take me along time to complete.

Ok Keith
I just sent an email to the EPP company to order some foam. I should have enough for 3/4 Minitoons.
I think i can do a 1.5m or a 1.8m with the foam i've ordered.

Joseph, your back!
You should have been up on Big L this afternoon, :wink: ……. fantastical……lifts everywhere,  (between the hail showers!) Flew everything I took up there,   even that little Filip of yours. (Yes it’s still flying :roll: )

I thought you already had the foam :?: …silly me.

Not sure what size Fred has in mind to draw the plans for. 1.8 sounds good, but will have to find out, :!: …….FRED, are you there?

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
