I like the table dust extraction and the brake on the bandsaw... Your work table does that pull out from underneath the dust extraction table

I hope we will get to also see a stick version of the Sport.

There is the BushGnat and the SportGnat. The BushGnat is a high wing aerobatic plane. The SportGnat is a midwing sport plane. The SportGnat can be built with or without the canopy. I have built several with a flat top. The wing can be placed as high or low as you want. One of my early versions had two wing saddle tubes to test locations.

What does PETG stand for? Polyethylene terephthalate glycol PETG or Polyethylene terephthalate glycol is a thermoplastic polyester commonly used in manufacturing. The PET component is what is commonly found in plastic beverage bottles and food products.
