Sorry for the hiatus just had get my things straightened out. Hi everyone have not found anything to build as of now but in the middle of building a down draft sanding table. Balsa dust has been playing havoc with my lungs so first I am going to build this table. If anyone is interested I can post some pictures.

Modeled and printed a couple of mounts for MPX 6 pin connectors for the side of the fuse for the Turbo Duster. Only took one set of test prints to get it right. This will make setup easier and quicker when only trying to get a couple flights in during my lunch break. The wing side will stay loose for now but I may at some point design and print a mount for the wing side that would allow it to plug itself in when installing the wing. I think my favorite part over all though is how clean this allowed me to make the inside of the fuse look.

If anyone would like a set for themselves and has access to a printer just send me a PM with your email address and I will gladly send you the STL files.

Ok just finished a down draft sanding table for my self been thinking about it for a while. Had a sheet of 1/2 inch aircraft plywood on hand so I put it to use. It took me a long time to come up with the correct hole size and spacing for the balsa I needed to sand. That Is a hole subject on its own. But the end result is 1/2 diameter holes at one inch spacing that worked for me. The box ended up being 60 inches long by 18 inches wide and 6 inches deep, with a tapered bottom. There is internal structure connecting the top and bottom plates together to prevent any kind of deflection. Just for interest the top has 1008 holes. Also added some handles on the bottom to carry it around not light, made from a broom handle.
