2nd Step of **CrossFire Extreme** design fuse & formers for laser cut.Following my first post, I update my new project. Not the plan and numbers, because everybody know is excellent job of Bob, but the pleasure of learning to work with new design programs in such a short time and take advantage of them to build more accurately and lighter.
Of course, the choice of materials is very important, but I'm joining the best I can and find at market.
Portugal has though some aeromodelling stores, but not intended C/L and not always in the other European countries to get some stuff that we can not make, which is the case of wood. We buy but we do not have option to choose.
Usually only announce balsa wood and when we buy, we received a mix and more than half, is not to use in this kind of project.
I know too, in US, some places have good and select wood and is much more easy buying theme. For us is not the price at shop or at forum member, but the shipping charges and customs fees. Final price are very expensive.
My next step is choose/select good wood sheets in my balsa stock and prepare for laser cut.
I want to make a thank you to Allan Resinger and Chris Cox by exchanging emails and the information they sent me about the there's CrossFire evolution
I leave here a picture of the other parts of the model that drew in autocad after a week dedicated to learning how to work with this program.
After passing this stage and if all goes for the best when it comes to the design to be correct and the parts are to fit well, I will put at forum the files to anyone and since Bob Hunt permits.
Till next step.
Regards,
José
