Default Re: 40% Turbo Laser (scratch built)

Today, the weather sucks and had other things to do but I did manage to get into the shop, and get a bit of work done.

A lot of what I have learned building the 34% will find its way in the 40%. For instance, the small guide wire retainers I made for the other airplane will find its way here since they work perfectly but this time I have made the adjustment part out of aluminum instead of brass, cutting crucial tail weight down.

The cable I am using for the tail guide wires are of Kevlar (150 lbs)

I also made the foam cutting templates for the wings.

I was lazy on the photos today
