RE: Black Magic v2 builder's thread! *Updated*
Yes, I lay it up myself and then it gets CNC cut. The parts weigh a little more, but the plane is ridiculously stiff and durable.
As for the firewall piece, yes cut the hole in the balsa and inset the piece.
Great looking plane Tony! Be sure to get a pic of you and the plane for my website gallery.
John, shoot me an email, I have something to show you and I have 3 email addys for you....
