Even when we were merely cutting out pieces of plywood we wanted our MultiCam to do the most creative cuts possible. This was the perfect project to prove it. The plane was to be amphibious, have two giant engines and a wingspan of 24 feet. The engineers insisted to hang it from the steel trusses it needed to weigh in at less than 2000 lbs. We were up for the challenge. I welded up a steel frame and set the MultiCam into motion.
As fast as the parts came off the machine we bolted them into place. We skinned this with lightweight spruce plywood and screwed in thousands of fasteners with fender washers to resemble rivets.
The nose assembly was whittled out of giant blocks of beaded foam to keep weight at a minimum. The MultiCam had saved us hours and hours of work and produced flawless parts in a hurry. After a couple of days of work it was starting to look like a plane already! I was liking it better all the time...
