Figure 1:Fuselage Being Cut Out

 In Figure 1, the fuselage drawing that was drawn in CAD was printed out on a drafting printer and placed on the foam to make the cuts more precise.  The foam was cut with an exacto knife, and two fuselages were cut out.  These two fuselages are 24" and will have a piece of foam, 2" wide placed between them that will give a space for the circuit board, battery, and other electronics.  Figure 2 shows the fuselage almost completely cut out.  In Figure 3, the fuselage is cut out and ready to be assembled.  The foam proved to very stable and allowed for accurate cuts without any problems.
