I appreciate the build thread encouragement I received in my other post about buying the Vagabond kit, so...OK....HERE GOES!
Started on it yesterday.
Can't wait to fly this one!
NIP.... that didn't last long...
First off I built the baffle since I had never tried one.
I thought it would be nice since the Vagabond body comes in two sections with the coupler.
Cut three disks out of birch ply.
I decided to use 8 holes top and bottom with overlapping half moon disks in the middle.
All the ply pieces are spaced evenly in the assembly.
Ply disks epoxied into the coupler.
I made a "U" shaped piece from Music wire. I drilled holed and ran it through the entire assembly.
At the bottom of the coupler the legs of the "U" were bent over at 90°.
I put carbon fiber above and below the bends and soaked with epoxy.
More to come....
