Schleicher ASH31 4m
My workshop space is limited to a max wingspan of 4m, so plumped for the 18m variant at 1:4.5 scale.
Having drawn up all the fuselage formers, SLEC UK did a quick and quality job of CNN cutting them.
Wings will be bagged blue foam with carbon fibre spars.

Re: Schleicher ASH31 4m
Thanks Elliot. I made an ASW15 like this ( from someone else's plan), I glasses the skin and painted which gave a smooth effective finish.
Here's my third attempt to post the plan drawing.

The first pictures were of the initial dry assembly. I've attached some glued pictures. Note the cheap laser level I used to line-up the main fuselage formers.
Re: Schleicher ASH31 4m
I'm with Elliot on this one Martin. I will watch this build with interest.
Brian.

Re: Schleicher ASH31 4m
Welcome Brian, I'm full of early build enthusiasm, so completed a bit more today, whilst ensuring still remaining straight.
I've used my block plane to trim the spruce stringers, before fitting. Certainly easier than widening former slots.
Central section, around the wing mount pretty strong now.
