Hi Aaron,

Not really. This is the only project that I'll do with aluminum, unless I find a cheap R/C model Turbine engine.

Have chop saws and cutting torch for my metal working hobby. I build wood stoves for friends. Real efficient and use far less wood than normal stoves. Make them out of 1/4" mild steel plate. Small fire inside warms the steel, it radiates heat and the fire stays small, almost smoldering, to keep the cabin warm.

Scroll saw just wouldn't work very well.

Nice videos on your youtube channel!

Just tried to fit one of my test build spars through the openings. Each & everyone of the holes are under-sized. Lots of filing in my future. Plan to file the top and bottom of all parts to smooth them up from the saw teeth marks.

Best regards,
Mike Bauer
