    Thanks dustybalsa!! I'm going to do the fin just as you said. Maybe I will just stick with a 5/8" fuse. Now I need to take another trip to hobby lobby:)

    I gues BalsaDust is best to answer the question. The template sheet for the fuse parts has some that are 1/4" and the same parts in 3/8". I'm guessing I cut both and laminate them together?? I am pondering a 3/4" fuse. I also kept my verical fin at 3/8".

    Thanks Snoop. And just for some clarification, I'm supposed to glue the 1/4" and 3/8" parts together on the fuse, to make it a 5/8" fuse, rite?

    Just spoke with Cindy, over at Graphtech, and she said that their GT6030 is a 3/4 inch wing tube. The outer fiberglass sleeve is 7/8". That is the one I'll be ordering.

    That should be a good build. I'm looking forward to building mine one day, with slight mods to the control surfaces! Great job on the build so far Snoop! Wish mine was that far along.

    I've only seen this over on a build thread on RCU for the Goldberg Extra. I thought it was a great way to make new ribs. He said it takes a while on 3/16 balsa, but it does a good job. He used power point to make the template, then imported it to the Cricut. Don't know if Cad will work, as I...

    I have not, but I'm watching another thread where some one is using one to replicate ribs. Programming isn't my fortay though!

    I hear ya! Not mine either! Thought about investing in a Cricut, but I'll probably do it the old fashioned way!

    Finished up the elevator. Put a couple extra gussets in where I thought I should.

    yep, I'll be using the actual doors off of the old 260 wings.

    Structure will be as per plans. I'm incorporating the equipment access doors, landing gear, and equipment mounting. Being able to get a visual of these things will help me out.

    I hear ya! I have to do a lot of lateral balancing and fine tune the elevator deflection to get walls and harriers to work right. The Glitter will be the replacement for mine as well.

    I'm still flying my Aero-Works Prox 260. I'm going to build this one with some of the techniques used on the Prox. I've got a couple of damaged wings from my old one I'm going to use the wing access doors from. They've worked great on the 3 Prox's so far.

    I'll probably get started on the tail surfaces for now. I've got to just get my foot in the door on the build to get motivated.

    For pin hinges, I always use Gorilla Glue. I prep the hinge pin with lip balm, as well as the covering around the hole, so once the glue expands, its easy to remove the excess. Blistex in the yellow squeeze tube works great!
