Default RE: UFO 25 - Planning

Paul,

Yea,

but for some unknown reason to me I'm working on three plans at a time. At the moment, I'm working on the CAP plans. I trust I'll get my head around the UFO by Sunday evening to finish it up and get it cut next week. There are only some minor things to finish up on the wing plan aside from my debate on wood stock for the fuse.

I've been thinking about the plan and realize that it is not as light as it could be. For the sake of allowing a more oval shaped fuse I'm going to leave it as is with more of a "semi-classic" airframe design. Essentially the top sheet and bottom rear sheet are both 1/16" thicker than they could be (5/16" and 1/8" rather than 1/4" and 3/32"). This will require some more elbow grease but the results should be more pleasing allowing the rear to be sculpted into a "glass like" shape. I've also been changing things around in the bottom front to make for a simpler, less expensive cut.

I hope to have a more concrete update soon.

David.
