    JerryFlyGuy,`
    The y axis is driven on one side only, but there is a second rail on the other side- see solidworks pic. I do get some minor wobble on the unsupported side. The way to fix it is to offset the carriage on the unsupported side or add another carriage. I will do it once the winter is over since it is too cold in the garage to work on it. I'm not planning to use it as a router, I may get too much flex.

    This model plane is turbine powered and is in production right now..

    All the moldes were CNC cut from a Solidworks drawing.

    Looks great Eddie! :cheers: Curious how long it took to do those two fuse halve's? Is this on your own machine or did you farm it out?
