Congratulations skyracer,
Very nicely executed! Did you do the wood laser-cutting yourself or have it done for you?
How does it fly???

The redesign for laser cutting and the cuts themselves were made by me. Flies beautifully. Described figures of beautiful pattern, and has a penetration into the air like no other.

Great looking plane Franklin, I was wondering if this plane is considered in the F3A category or its just a classic one, im more inclined to the second one.

Having a lasser cutter makes things simpler and easier building since all parts fit just right.

Keep up the building and let us know.

I'm with you Rafa, it's a "Classic" that allow perfomance for F3A tables.

Thanks for share your nice Gitano 46 design.

Do you have available an AutoCad file of Gitano suitable for CNC cutting. In your first post they are the yellow and red sections all fit to wood sheet size. I can find ply and balsa CNC laser cutting service in my town and I would like to quote one assembling kit.

In advance thank you very much

Muchas grĂ¡cias
