Making the pin holes for the epoxy to bite better
Glued up and the clock is running!
Check the dihedral, 6"
Epoxy cured
Wings continued! So now time for the glass, Marcus had a large strip of glass and prefers the one strip
method, so we cut a 40mm wide (20mm on each root) and 14.5" long strip. I just bought a new tool/toy
for this that one of my buddies Brian showed me, the fabric cutting wheel. WOW this makes cutting
glass a little too easy! I can’t wait to use it on every build haha! Anyways, back to the build
the
glass provided in the kit is more than enough to cover the root in 2 pieces, so if you have no glass laying
around, the kit has all you need.
After cutting it, it was time to 3M77 her and lay her down. After it was on, time to set it for good. We
debated on whether we should CA the glass or epoxy it down, I voted for the CA because it is strong, and
very fast, but Marcus, being a religious Paul Naton follower
had more faith in epoxy. That being
said, 60 min finishing epoxy was used. The epoxy was poured on generously and worked into the glass
weave via Marcus. Once that was worked into the glass really good, the excess was blotted out with
some paper towel. Once this is cured, the carbon reinforcing patches will go on over the bolt holes over
top the glass. So since this process takes fffoooooorrrrreeeeeevvvvvveeeeeerrrr (stupid finishing resin) I
guess this is it for now! We'll be back soon with the carbon patches and wing joining to the fuse. Not bad
progress for 2 days work!
