The plugs for the fuselage and the rudder are ready. Our shaper Richi has done an amazing job, as usual. The part where the wings join the fuselage was particularly challenging, as we will be using a pretty thin airfoil – unlike the original Elfe S3. With the wings sitting at the top of the fuselage Richi had to be creative in shaping that part of the fuselage.

Next step is building the moulds. We will probably only do the fuselage mould in Autumn – unless we are faced with a few weeks of non-stop rain. Georg has however started preparations for the mould of the rudder, which he will build. He will also be making four rudders for the four Elfes that we are planning to build. The wings will be in our usual styro-ebechi with carbon and glass layup building method.
