Very nice job. That is a work of art. Do you know what the weight of it was with the laser cut and the painted frame work, which looks killer. Can not wait to talk to dennis about the laser cut it looks really good. That is relly something to be proud of.

That is one of the nicest paint schemes I have ever seen on a IMAC plane. Awesome job.

didn't do a weight yet... but before going into the plane, the motor box saved over a pound.

I hope this laser cutting is implemented by Carden. I recently built my fuse on a Carden 40% Edge and although it is rewarding to do all the cutouts, I think I'd rather they be done. It also appears to interlock to guarantee a straight motorbox. I saved about 10 oz on my motorbox so the laser cutting saves significantly more.

2 years ago I saw Mike Goulian perform at Oshkosh in his Castrol Cap 232, it is one beautiful airplane. So needless to say, that is one great covering job...

Kinda looks like amatuer work to me! I don't see anything a scroll saw could not duplicate.
