Before I ever built anything for a Corsair, I knew that the process I started out with would not be the same when I finished.    …and I was right.<\/p>\n

The day I went to the factory to purchase my first CNC router, I asked the sales guy if I could just make the entire aircraft without having to do all of the layups and foam and shaping.   He said that I could and took me into another room so I could see a custom machine that was cutting cartoon characters out of foam for an amusement park.   He described that process and I knew that is where I had to go.<\/p>\n

It’s now many years later and many of the aircraft companies have moved away from the process Burt Rutan made so popular back in the 70’s to the same process I saw that day.   It’s now all about 3D printers and 5 axis routers.<\/p>\n

Version 2 used the Rutan method and I got far into the development process before I found myself, yet again, looking for a new shop.<\/p>\n

Version 3 takes the exact same design as V2, but converts everything to a Solid Model.  From there I will have our friends at REVELAERO<\/u> <\/a>cut the model in foam using their big machine.   Once the model has been finalized and adjustments made, we will invert the design and make the molds.<\/p>

So, let’s get started with a new approach…<\/p>\n

I could go faster if I had my own equipment but Investment dollars are hard to find in the age of Covid.<\/p>\n

However, I will say: donations are welcome<\/i><\/b>!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
