Technique to Simply Construction
Working on the new design, had a thought about simplifying construction.
Till now have been separating things into their own parts, this takes time to glue say 4-sides instead 0f 2.
Well if the sides of the fuselage has an added top skin and fold line, this will get rid of several glue joints, will save lots of gluing and time waiting for it to dry. Also should have a straighter build due to less glue joints. Will also reduce the amount of glue tabs, weight savings.
Just printed the new design with the major components designed to fold and glue together for a test of this method.
If it works, it will reduce weight by using less glue and getting rid of glue tabs.
