GMFC files for Le Fish!

Eric “the Frenchie” Arnaud, a Frenchman living in South Africa, has been kind enough to share the GMFC CNC cutting files he used to create his Le Fish based on the open source Le Fish plan!

He’s made some relatively minor deviations from the plan to suit his taste (something I encourage all builders to do – things don’t move forward unless we evaluate new ideas!), but the general outlines keep very close to the plan. The biggest change is to the vertical stabilizer and rudder shape, but a scratchbuilder could easily modify that to suit his/her personal preferences.

In Eric’s words:
“Attached are all the GMFC cutting files, people will have to adjust according to their tables ( cutting speeds and heat)… I have made minor mods for myself but all are within the original design. Attached is also the pics of the files in GMFC for quick ref as well as photos of a finished kit from my machine.”

This is a big assistance to scratchbuilders everywhere – thank you Eric!!
