Edge banding...................................That's all I'm gonna say.

It's a bit funny how things change, the season's, music, fashion, and my desire to edge band. I now am deciding very carefully if I want to even cut a piece on our Techno cnc, as I know what that means..................more edge banding. Tomorrow I have decided that I should let someone more qualified take this task on. And by qualified I mean not me :) Jody should do this. Yeah that's right, give it to Jody. She's gonna loooove me! That poor girl, she's always gettin stuck doing the 'less than super-crazy-awesome' tasks, like sanding, and sanding, oh yeah....sanding. I sound bitter, but I truly am not. I worked Saturday and Sunday on doing some more designing and routering, and figuring out how this will attach to that, etc.

Our Techno cnc got a workout cutting even more pieces today (look at all those edges that need edge banding ;) These pieces become the first section of the fold out wing system.

The fuselage is now fabricated and clamped together. It is very solid, despite it's open tail framing. The tail will always be open with the exposed framing. It does have aircraft running down the length to add to the look.

This portion is just over 17 feet long, so it's a small/big plane I guess. However the wingspan will be over 25 feet when they are fully open.

Here the propeller tower is sitting in position. It's not totally finished, as it needs edge banding as well. It also gets some add on pieces that are both structural and decorative. These need edge banding too. I have been taking a break from the banding and been applying stain here and there. It looks good with the first wing section in place.
