Default RE: Black Magic VF3 E build thread!

Right,

Had a bit of a battle with the 2nd wing tube hole. Cost me a blank but the 3rd one worked out ok. It is 1mm (about 3/64") off center but straight, so I'm going to forgive myself for that.

Glued the false rib. There are places where the foam burnt away too much but I'm working on the basis that the bond with the spars and balsa sheeting is more important so rather than adding weight I'm going to leave the gaps. Still waiting for comments from the pro's on this one.

Just about to glue the spars. Cutting the slots with a dremel as described in the instructions worked well.
