Steve 1,
Thanks for posting the shots. I hope you'll post the whole process. It's great to see and hear the inside story of how things are done.

The Amazing thing is the design was done in-house and the files were VIA Internet to the CNC People and not a sheet of paper or a hard drawing. All Cad and the 3-D was phenomenal..

Steve,

Can you e-mail me the shops contact info? We do a lot of foam molds for our aircraft using NC, but most of the shops are limited to smaller parts. Having a shop who can handle big parts would be usefull for some of our newer (larger) aircraft.

Thanks - Greg
