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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s perfectly centered). He will now fill the gap between the plug and parting plane with paste (bostic\/blue tac) and wax the plug and parting plane.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><a
