Default RE: My new build

It is starting to look like something now, a plane if you look real hard and squint your eyes. If you don't then it looks like something a kid is making from an erector set. The sticks are bent and under a load so sometimes a part will snap off when the epoxy is setting up and not be in the location you left it in the night before. Walking out to the shop in the morning can often be a surprise when you see where the parts ended up. After gluing I do wet the parts so they take a warp and the pressure is relieved from the parts. This morning no surprises and it's time to put in the cross braces and hard wood mounts for the LG. I have to come up with a place to mount the battery so it can be gotten to with ease. A mount and a hatch? I have several ideas.
