that panel looks cool, where are you doing your rapid prototyping?
do you have a place in the us to do it?
when i did my apache cockpit i sent it to holland to print.
need to have more stuff done and would like to order in the us to get a quicker turn around. they do good work though...

Thanks Emile,

That Comanche kicked my a$$ for sure but there are a couple of good side to that project. The mechanics with the 5 blade head and 8 blade tail are flying great, and I learned what "not" to do. LOL It will return someday.

I had a really good base to start from with the Scale Jet. All I had to do was assemble the pieces. Watching and following other builds, I have really picked up a lot of ideas and folks throwing in there 2 cents from time to time, helps to get out of the box. I have a flying "blue print" I get to fondle every day which also helps.

One huge factor, Ro supports this madness and is the "critic" of everything. If she don't like it, I have to do it again until I get it right.

If I had gone turbine power, it would still be sitting on the bench getting ready for flight.

Going ePower was the best thing I could have ever done with the Scale Jet 76

The Duke will come back some day that's for sure. I am not one to give up on a project. When it returns it will be better than ever.

Hawk079,

Yes, I have been using the BVM Areo Poxy for all the wood and carbon structure. The BVM is really strong however the main reason I used it was because of the cool gun and self mixing applicator tips. The tips come in different lengths and make applying the glue very easy and gives a nice fillet when complete.
