I'm curious: I can see creating tool paths for the fuselage parts and using a CNC or laser to cut them out of plywood, but for the horizontal stab, would you cut all the parts out individually on your laser cutter/CNC, or would you cut the stab out of one sheet of balsa as one piece, or would you just do it old school and cut strips to length and width using an xacto blade? Seems like the old school method is faster and easier since all the parts are essentially straight strips of balsa.
You could cut them out of a slab, but you can save material and weight by building it separate pieces. You wouldn't need to laser cut or cnc the "ribs", but cut them from strip stock. I've done it both ways.

A really good practical series of videos and yes, the microphone is much better now!
Awesome, glad you can hear it!

Are you doing this work in the 3-year personal use version or the fully licensed version?
No, I am using the full version.
