Thanks guys for the kind words!!
I challenge you to a dual!!!!!!!! My Velox up against your Extra Kidding Bro. I would love to see more of these. If somebody does not get with me soon about some foam cores then I will be building the stabs, wings and control surfaces the good old traditional way!! ribs and stringers..... Anybody know how different a Velox horizontal stab and elevator are compared to a Extra????

OK so I decided to give the stab a shot. its 6mm ribs with 3mm sheeting. the spar is 6mm with a carbon tube attached. I will cut it at the control surface and add balsa triangle stock for my hard point and hinge line. I like it so far. its a bit of work to roll the depron to shape. I'm going to just glue the puppies to the fuse.

The stabs look awsome!

wow i am amazed at your craftsmanship. that is wicked sick

Did you heat the 3mm depron, then roll it to the shape?

no roll it on a can silly with slight pressure

CRAZY BUILD!!!

PS: CAP LOCKS ARE FUN!!!

This was actually such a tight bend I had to do 3 different things. first I placed the depron on the sharp edge of a table, took it and centered the piece of 3mm where my LE is going to be, I then put very slight pressure on the depron making a crease down the center. I repeated this step about 3/4 of a inch from center on both sides of the line, once done I grabbed a wing tube and used my hand to very slightly bend the depron over the tube until it started taking shape. Once I got it that far the rest was messaging the depron to shape. I did not use the heat until the outside ribs were glued in place. once I did that everything fell right into place!

Thank you guys for the compliments.
