Default Re: Custom full fuse foamie python????

Here are pics of the fuse so far. It is comming along slowly as this is my first time to build a foamy from my own plans and it is not a profile so there is a bit of a learning curve. Besides, I just don't have all the time in the world either.

Here is a little more that I got done on it. It has a few problems that I had to fix that wouldn't be a problem on the second one but I was still able to work it out.
Check it out.

I know you could "score" or cut the inside of the foam to get it to shape but then rather than a circle it creates folds and would make a bunch of flat surfaces. The foam can flex quite a bit so I figure if I keep flexing it over things with a big radius and keep working it to the correct radius then it might work. Thats about all I got.
Your doing great! I would not change a thing. sorry if I sounded cocky, I did not mean it that way at all, just like to help....
Keep up the great work! Looking forward to flying with you.
