This winter I started a new plane called the Megabar...
The Isobar is ~80 inches long and the Megabar is 90.
The wings will be the same, along with the weight (I hope),
more room inside, very accurate plug for the molds and better fuel tanks.
The pics below are what I did today at the machine shop.
Darren (owner) and I cut the pug for the front hatch from
6 layers of MDF wood. We used 1 inch ball end mill, CNC
mill, 70,000 lines of code (G01s) to get the most accurate
plug possible.
Over the last month, I learned a program call Solidworks
that I used to design the plane. (pic below) From this
drawing Darren ran another program called Surfcam witch
produced the 70,000 lines of machine code.
It took around 4 hours, at 90 inches/min at 7100 rpm with
the 1" ball end mill to cut the front hatches.....
