I'll second the title "Global Huck" for the aircraft... has a nice ring to it, sums up the mission as well.... Flying Giants, Hucking around the world!

Think you'll be able to ship to an APO?? I'd love to take care of the Middle East Huck.

Let the plane begin!!!

Few pics, some blurry. (POS camera)

The first pic is what I found in the mail today. Where does this stuff keep coming from? (THANKS FROM ALL OF US NICK!!!)

The second and third pics are of the CNC in action! Pics four and five of finished product!

Six, seven, and eight are of the CF from Boulder. It was a bit wide so you see the make shift CF stripper that I used to size it down to fit the 6mm EPP.


THANKS ALL!!! More to come soon of the wing build...

Progress... I found a good use for the small cf strips that were remaining as you can see in the Elev.

Any one have any suggestions on a hingeing material for this stuff. Afraid the usual clear tape will not cut it.
