Default RE: .60 size Pattern Tiporare Build

I managed to find some time after dinner and cut the carbon fiber spars. While the saw was out I also cut them to length. This stuff is extrememly difficult to cut, I found that only a carbide blade or an abrasive wheel is the only thing that works. The tool steel blade did not like cutting this stuff at all.
I have ordered some laminating epoxy and it should arrive soon. I would like to be in a positon to be able to laminate the wing cores when it arrives. That means I must get the spars epoxied in place and lightly sand the cores as recommended by David.
More tomorrow since the world did not end as predicted.
