Hey all,

Since we started the BPA, I guess I should have something to fly. So here is the beginning of my build.

I have my Rossi .60 with Tuned Pipe, and Spring Air retracts. I figured I would try a little honeycombing and see how it went. I began with the horizontal stabs. I first made a single template, and removed the voids with an x-acto knife. Not the greatest or smoothest cuts. So I remembered seeing a foam cutter at Michael's craft store. They use it to make snow landscape for the Christmas houses. $7.00 and a second template later, I refined the cuts, making them smooth and much more square.

I weighed each stab prior and each weighed 3 grams. Now down to 2 grams. The real weight savings will be with less glue. Or it will not make a difference, we will see. I will do some honeycomb on the wings, but not too drastic.

Balsa order is in, so will post more later,

Happy Turkey day!
