Just a little side project while I am skinning the Sabre my friends, here is how it looks at this point. I will post a link to the build pics as soon as I get them uploaded to Flickr. Pretty proud of my cowl work, the front is four pieces of foamboard , the first piece insets to the front as a former and I left the paper on front of that, I then cut 3 pieces to match that former ,removed the paper from both sides and then glued those to the front of the former lining them up to match using wood glue. The foam sands very easliy and smoothly and took about 30 mins to get it to the shape it is. I sealed it last night as well as seams. Going to do a final sand tonight and give it another seal. Then I can finish it off without worrying too much about dinging the nose up too bad.   |

This thing looks stellar. i do believe I want to add one to my collection. What are the specs on it? it is a 38 inch wingspan, running a 2212 2200 Kv with a 6x4 prop and a 1500 3s for battery. I will have to scan my patterns to put a set of plans up for you guys |

Just an update on this one my friends, did a stupid thing with this one and took it out for a few tests taxis on the street and decided one time to see how a quick takeoff and land would go, that went fine landed on the crest of the hill and had a little speed didn't quite make the turn on the street and smacked into the curb. No real cosmetic damage, 3d printed spinner barely has a scratch, motor mount is snapped so I will have the take the front of the cowl off to repair that so not too bad considering it smacked pretty hard. Going with a printed mount for sure from now on.
