Seemed to make a much better job of taping the joints on the rear than I did first time round on my 'training day'.
First off a seam of cotton flox is run down each join to make a smooth 5mm radius (fiberglass does not bond to sharp edges).
4 hours down, 1,496 to go!
 |
| Tailplane set up on trestles ready for work |
 |
| 25mm fiberglass 'tape' bonded down each side of the rib. |
 |
| X - marks the peel ply that must be removed from leading edge |
 |
| Peel ply coming off - once it's started it's dead easy to remove |
 |
| All peel ply removed ready for sanding now |
 |
| Leading edge sanded so all the sharp edges are removed |
 |
| All the parts for each section come in these shrink wrapped panels |
 |
| Carbon panel with ribs already mostly cut out on machine |
 |
| The Dremel makes short work of cutting them out. |
 |
| Have to remove this micro (brown stuff) back to 10mm for the rib |
 |
| Wing is roughly the right shape of the rib - will close up a bit when bonded |
