"If any one would like to see pics of my sleds I will be happy to dig them out of the attic and snap a few digital pics."
Hey there Chris. I'd be interested in those pics. One thing I'll be doing is outsourcing the cutting of my spar caps, but if at a later stage I want to do it myself on another plane (npi) I'd be willing to bet those pics would be helpful. Once I've got my caps laminated, I'll be taking them along with an IGES file of my CAD caps to the local hardwood mill, who for a token sum will run them through their CNC mill, thus giving me absolutely perfectly finished spars that will even match the AS5048/5 airfoil curve. One of the benefits to living in a small timber town in the middle of nowhere is that it doesn't take long for people to get wind of interesting projects, and there has been plenty of people who are more than willing to lend a hand to the insane couple who are building planes!
