tph1,

I cut my own cores for this one with the help of a flying buddy. I setup all the core blocks with my templates attached (double sided tape) to each end and called him over. We were able to cut the fuse decks, wings, and tail in about 2-3 hours (learning curve with the hot wire). I have all my templates in CAD (of course) so it is possible that they could be cut by professionals.

I got two more flights on the plane today. I actually flew the 402 a few times and it will take some time to get used the plane's slow abilities. I mentioned before that this plane slows nicely on bottom radius exits. In flying the sequence the advantage of this is much more apparent, as I now have more time to setup and draw a straight horizontal line entry into the next manuever.
