Electric Edge 540 build log #14


Impossible things happen all the time when building planes from scratch beyond the gremlins that take tools to other dimension only to return them when you’re not looking. So CoroPlast comes in a 4x8 sheet, I cut it to 24x12 to fit the laser with a haphazard box cutter. Randomly place the cut geometry in the laser CAM and cut. Next a random selection of where to put the stab spar and the vertical thru posts for the fin. Well how that is even possible the back fin post is dead I mean dead on with the stab spar!! Well that is not going to work because the spar is glued in and no way to re-drill because of the carbon in the fuse… So now I am going to cut new tail feathers with blue coro, what are the chances that I can get the vertical post to line up with the flutes so the fin post will go in the existing hole? 100%!? No way that should have worked but it was dead on in the same spot with the blue fin. I moved the stab spar one flute closer to the nose and off to the races with the graphics!
