    Thanks Danny.

    Hi Martin, Do you have a link to the laser cutting presentation? I have a look on the BMFA site but have not found it.

    Don't know what you boys are 'on', but I have been looking at this for hours and all I can see is clouds.

    Looks good to me, well done young man.

    If you print it and find the dimensions aren't correct, I find it easier to change this in the slicing software (I use Cura) rather that going back to Fusion to edit it.

    Hi Graham, I am also using Fusion360. I'm still learning as I go. I started by drawing a rectangle the size that I need and then extrude it into a cube. Then draw an elipse on the top face and extrude away the bit you don't want, which gives you this: Then I select the top edge and produce a fillet: I then use the shell comand to hallow it out: I then select the inside face of the flat end and extrude it away: Hope that makes some sort of sense.

    So, spent a couple of days tinkering with the battery tray and have come up with this: First job was to remove the unwanted bit from the original tray I then cut a new tray and added some 3d printed locking blocks. Then cut some slots for the locking blocks to fit in. I then added a back piece and some slotted tabs for fitting velcro straps. I re-inforced these with some cocktail stick pegs. The last thing was to make a locking catch. More later...

    Little bit more done: I have CNC cut all the horns from epoxy sheet and installed them. At this point I thought I would put everything together so I could weigh it before final painting and see how I am doing with the CofG. The AUW with everything execpt the push rods is 4.6kg. I can achieve the CofG with no added nose weight but the batteries need to be pushed well forward (a couple of inches beyond the battery tray. This is going to give me issues securing the batteries. I need to do a bit of head scratching. Maybe split the canopy and make the back half removable, or perhaps some sort of sliding battery tray affair? More later...
