Glassin’ with Class
Hey there,
Just thought you might like to see my “Art Project”. The pictures show the final shaping of the core form all the way to the the first two glass lay-ups. The round items are the radius objects. I used these objects by wrapping sandpaper around them to form “designer sanding blocks” for the shape (Note the sandpaper wrapped around the PVC pipe) I did the same for all of the radius objects and used them as needed. My plan is to build this shape as you would a trailing edge of a wing or aileron as described in Burt Rutan’s book. I hope to apply a top layer (bottom?) and flair out the excess fiberglass. It will be strengthened with microfibers.
