RE: First Scratch Build
I made up a list of the wood I need and placed an order from National Balsa.
In the meantime, I decided to do some practice ribs with wood I already have. I cut out some coffin-shaped blanks using an exacto, and pinned them together. Then I roughed them with a coping saw and shaped them with my bar sander. I'm sure it's possible to build this way, but I am going to pick up a scroll saw and a disk/belt sander soon. I'll probably look for sales at Memorial Day.
I still only have the one flight on the AT-6. I haven't had much time at the field lately, and when I have I've been flying the new Dazzler. This build is definitely going to take longer than the Dazzler.
