It's starting to look like an airplane

This foam stuff is a lot of fun to play with. In true ADD fashion I have been designing parts and then having to come up with innovative ways to fit the adjoining parts instead of designing it all then building it. But it is actually coming out quite well so far.

The first pic shows all the pieces so far created. I'm going to cut off the top of the main spar and make an access cover that goes from the firewall back to cockpit.

The second pic shows the little slot in the bottom that the wood frame member goes in (though it's a little hard to see on the nearest piece. In the middle piece you can see the tunnel that the wires for the wing servos go through. I'm going to put a servo in each wing instead of making a fairly complicated linkage mechanism with the aileron servo in the fuselage.
