Seax is aimed at F3B and currently the molds for the wing and tail were collected in Germany, February 2004. They are now sanded with grit 2000 and ready for polishing. The joiner mold is ready for molding, and the plug for the fuselage is 95% ready.

At first the molds should be made in the winter 04/05 and this winter should be used to make a workshop. Gjermund send an email to Norbert Habe with some questions on airfoils. He got a quick and friendly reply and the project took of.
Mr. Habe was friendliness itself and thought that HN 354 was an old airfoil and offered to optimize an airfoil if Gjermund send him a three plan sketch. He did so and as a bonus he got some advice on wing geometry and the tip that Reihard Ecker in Landshut north of Munic was good at milling molds at a reasonable price.

Here comes the continued story from Gjermunds own mouth/hands.

I will publish more info as the project progresses.

Thank you Gjermund.
