Default RE: Black Magic VF3 E build thread!

Hi Grant,

I seriously doubt my one will be in the air by Christmas...

I'm considering not honeycombing my wings stab and fin etc. Will see how the fuse weight comes out and make a decision then.

Attached are some more pics. Have built up the canopy frame. I made a small jig to set the rear part of the frame at 20 degrees as per the plan. Also added some balsa front and back to stiffen the frame up. Next will be to cut the turtle deck former to fit behind the canopy frame, fit carbon shell to canopy frame and trim then glue the former in front of the canopy. Doing things a little different from the instructions here as I believe it will result in a better canopy fit.

Cheers,
Jason.
