Does anyone do or know someone who can cut a fuselage plug from a solidworks solid model out of some type of sandable foam?

thanks

not sure exactly what you are asking but my father cuts foam airplane wings/parts for a living. he does lots of custom jobs.

His website is www.flyingfoam.com

Nope, actually I was looking for a full 3D capable setup, which I found from http://www.dcmodelshop/

I should really post a picture or two of what I am working on and I will when I find the cable to connect my digital camara to my computer

thanks, but I got it done (as far as the milling) a while ago. It currently looks like this (which is where I lost interest about 6 months ago). I figure another month or two and I will feel like finishing her.

I thought you would have had it done by now. But hey...I have to ask. :D
I am working on some cool heli stuff now for a guy. but can't say anymore.
Good luck with your project.
That would make a cool park flyer!!
