RE: New construction technique

Muldoer, the Zero looks great. I am sure the Gutterpipe core will add lots of strength.

As for the Canopy, I once made a Me-109 canopy from a carved wood block and a 2l coke bottle. see...

RE: New construction technique

Most of the gear is mounted through the wing saddle. I mount the elevator servo in the aft fuse and seal it in. It can always be cut out and patched if need be. Not ideal but it makes for a simpler...

RE: New construction technique

I used "NASCO" tape. It comes in 1/2" and 3/4" at the local "dollar Store". Remember that the foam I am using is "insulation" pink foam. I believe it is more dense than regular white foam. Anyway,...

RE: New construction technique

Lectrote: please include pictures of this technique.
