Start assembling the new frame.

I have started to assemble another version for the frame. Hope this will be the last one :-). The first step was to cut the carbon tubes and to do this ,I used a plastic ruler and a saw with a small blade to cut metal. To adjust the sizes of the tubes I used a rasp tool for metal and a fine grit sandpaper for metal.

Figure 1

The Figure 1 shows the work in progress and the tools, as well as several carbon tubes already cut. It is also important to have at hand a vacuum cleaner to clean the carbon dust that is produced during the cutting and sanding and do not forget to put a mask because of dust.

Figure 2

In Figure 2 we can see the bottom of the frame now with the plastic pieces placed in appropriate locations.

Figure 3

In the last figure (Figure 3) we can see the bottom and the top of the frame. Nowhere in the construction glue is used to connect the different parts. To keep the tubes attached to the pieces I used kite line (the green line in figure 2 and 3) and the white nylon cable ties. I will continue to assemble the frame. Hope it will be ready this week!
