The Goal is the fuse molds machined first out of aluminum. Once the fuses are proven and perfected then I will move on to the One piece wing- molds for that will be more expensive so I may do that out of corian, acetate or Tivar. The wings are designed after my currently bagged wings.
My machinest is waiting for the final solid files for the fuse now. Doug |

Very nice Doug!
Cool 3D model, almost like watching it fly. Some might caution against taking the rudderless trend to such extremes though Can't wait to see the progress! Craig |

Actually Doug, the Cube only tests effectively for a fully symmetrical turned nose. Most of the time I see fuselages that have larger radii in the vertical plane, with the horizontal radii much smaller. The cube appears to test only the largest radius, and give a false reading otherwise. The FAI rules show a quarter circle, however a flat template with a semi-circle permits measurement in both directions.

Looks great Doug. Look forward to watching this one. I always enjoy your threads.
