Default RE: Curare build
The fuse is looking good. That's the next item on my agenda. Starts tomorrow.

I have the wings and the stabs done on mine. Pics of wings attached. I cut my own cores. I have built bagged glider wings with carbon and fiberglass for years and this was my first bagged balsa skinned wing. Makes for a perfectly straight wing. They seem light two, only 13 oz. per side with carbon reinforcement.

Cutting and shaping the ailerons and flaps from flat stock took the most work.

I forgot how much balsa dust you make scratch building. Whew!
