"The Diamond" - cutting foam for the fuselage
Here's the fuselage build. I started with one inch thick blue foam and used a hot wire to but it into a diamond cross section. In other words, when viewed from the front, the cross section is a very tall diamond. It is one inch thick at the center and tapers to a feather cut at the top and bottom. The overall height is 12 inches.
Then I cut a profile out that looks a little bit like an aerobatic airplane. Left it very tall to give lots of side area.
