Cleared for takeoff!

There were also a bunch of three dimensional pieces to make for the plane - all routed out of 30 lb Precision Board HDU. The MultiCam was used to make all the windows, engine housings and motors and propellers for the plane. While we worked on other things the machine was busy too producing parts in record time.
I worked with two helpers on this project and we produced the plane from start to finish in less than two weeks. As soon as it was done it was out the door and on the way to the Mall of America. I flew down by a commercial carrier and supervised the lift into its permanent home. It was nothing less than spectacular!
The MultiCam had proved itself once again. The plane weighed in at 1950 pounds - 50 pounds lighter than required.
