It’s time to get back to the workshop and start building again. I still need to finish my Diana4, which has been on the back burner while I finished my Monerai. In addition, we are resuming the work on the Neukom Elfe S3.

In the past few weeks, Georg has prepared the parting plane for the fuselage plug. I helped him set up the workshop to prepare building the fuselage moulds and fitting the plug into the parting plane (so that it’s perfectly centered). He will now fill the gap between the plug and parting plane with paste (the same stuff used by dentists to make moulds for teeth) and wax the plug and parting plane.

We also started cutting the styro foam for the wings and elevators.Over summer Georg built a nifty foam cutting installation. It works really well and ensures an even nicer hot wire cut than the manual cutting we did in the past.
