Hi All,

I am spending tonight cutting my final set of formers for fuse #2.

I finished all the work required to send my former files off the the laser cutter. Sent a test file to the cutter - he is telling me he is ready to rock.

So in about a week or so I will be able to offer laser cut former kits with laser cut jig guides, fuse side templates and my former position template which is used to set up my jig. I'll also have an instruction sheet and a webpage with step by step instruction.

I have about 40 hours into redrawing the formers, testing, rechecking, redrawing, re cutting, re testing, re drawing, playing with lasers, testing lasers, redrawing and recutting formers... etc. I have actually cut 4 complete set of formers at this point, I do feel that this R&D is going to pay off with well made fuselages with a lot less work. And the laser parts that I will have available will be AWESOME! The cost to build my jig is less than $20.00, Stay tuned, I will posted pictures and a complete breakdown of everything at some point over the weekend.

Since the Gator Jigs are not really available - my method will give anyone without the jig a way to build good fuses. And I will show how to do it step by step....

back to the world of balsa dust!

BLACK MAGIC - YEA BABY!
