Started on the Curare 60 build from Eureka Aircraft. CNC cutting was very good. Don does a great job and has been helpful in guiding me through a couple modifications to the parts that differ a bit from the plans. This is my first short kit build, so I am finding out about the difference in a short kit and a regular kit. It does take some time and careful attention to the details of the plans. I decided to build the fuse and wing at the same time. No particular reason, it just sort of fell together. I have all the parts puched out and have glued together multiple pieces that produce 'blocks' that normally would be supplied as a large block. Took a bit of conversation with David to get the root and tip profiles to their accurate size. So, now the foam is cut for the wing. I will be gluing up the sheeting this week. I also took a shot at making up a fuse jig using material in my shop, it seems to be accurate and sure helps in holding the fuse in line. If anyone has the plans for a "gravity pull" foam cutter (like the one Chino used) I think that would work better than manually. Now, I am going to send this without pics....I had difficulty doing that twice. I will then try to send the pics separately.
