Default RE: 1/6th A-6 Intruder Scratch Build

Same place Thomas. I contacted them and they said that they can scale the 1/5.5 gear down to 1/6th so I am about to send them my deposit to start work on them.

Once my glue was dry and set I whipped out the hot wire bows and bang!!!!! I got me a nice rudder outline blank ready for cutting. My dad is bringing home some formica for me to make templates for the airfoil cutting. I have already drawn up the templates in Profili so I just need to print them out and cut them. I am on the rope of how to cut them out. Originally I wanted to cut them on the laser cutter but I think based on the MSDS sheet laser cutting formica lets out some hazardous fumes. I will have to do more research for that and see if it is safe or not, I hope it is, nothing beats the laser cutter!!!
