    Not currently near my shop but mine looks just like this other than its covered in dust. It uses a really old 1985 controls to keep the cuts on track. :)

    Templates are made and the first few parts have been cut. Feels good to run my CNC scroll saw. Lol

    It may or may not work out that way. Not really sure. Though I will be doing some low and slow stuff with this I have tried to design it more towards high energy stuff.

    If it works out well a bigger version will happen. I have a 55cc edge profile I built that flys amazing. Would love to come out but have a family function on Sunday.

    Guys good new, plans have been re printed and we are in business. 6" scale reads right on the money but my wings are still showing about a 1/4" shy of the full span I was shooting for. I think this may have to do with all the rain though as I know plans will shrink and grow with varying amounts...

    Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.

    Congrats on the maiden bud. Always good to get them out of the way so you can start enjoying the plane.

    I have to give a big shout out and thank you to @Alky6 He looked over my CAD drawing today and found the problem I was having with my file. Didn't have access to the plotter to try again this afternoon but I'm pretty sure tomorrow they should print up correctly. But first I will be trying to...

    Hopefully you got my email with the plans. I reprinted them this morning but don't have a tape measure to check them with near me. Will check them when I go on lunch break.

    Weighs 17.4oz and running a hacker A2020 on a 10" prop. Hard to beat that setup on a lightweight plane other than my crap esc. Felt like an on off switch right where I wanted to hold my throttle in a harrier.

    What version of autocad are you using??? I'm gonna send you the file to look over. Currently all my stuff is saved a a 2013 file so don't know if I need to re save and an older version for you or not.

    Thought about doing different viewports but for me right now it was easier to do just one. When I send out plans it will prolly be 3 PDF files. One that is the wing, one the fuse and stab, and third would be just cut parts. I will take a pic once I get home of how I have it setup.

    I'm using autocad 2017 so while on layout 1 all I had to do was select 1:1 then go to paper space and it locked it there.
