Actually, Diane's Honda had to go in for repairs, wouldn't start without jump starting it. It's so slow at work right now, that I just took a PTO day and we got the danged thing in for repairs, turns out it was the Serpentine belt.
Spent most of the day working on the T-45 manual, so it wasn't wasted.
More to the point, I'm totally fascinated with this new way of model construction. Now, I wonder if you could do a hybrid 3d printer/balsa plane? I was thinking of something like a Hawker Hurricane where the rib and fab would be balsa and the forward fuse would be plastic....

I'll post a new topic in this sub-forum when I finally have something to show for it.

In case people haven't seen the flight video, here it is:Dynam; E-Flite; Freewing

It was actually healthy to do another project for a little bit. I'd been so focused on the big Spitfire print.
So finishing off the little has been fun, just need to install the servos and ailerons.
The update
The flight of the previous plane which was way under powered.
Can't wait to fly this one. I really like the clear/yellow vs the first plane with the green and black.

I might actually start gluing some of these sections together.
Each wing is 6 sections long. 1700mm total wing span.
Decided I would do the tips vs clipped wing model.
The tips are currently being printed.
Really like the new bed and did install an OctoPrint setup so I can remotely
(from the living room) monitor the prints and stop them if required.
