--- Quote from: "Happy Days" ---I’m not sure exactly how you’re making these wings, :?: presumably by vac-packing the composite onto the foam?
But that must mean you have a vacuum pump, yes?

Thats a yes and a yes Keith.
Wonder if that wind is north enough for the North slope tomorrow? I'll be in touch.

A-Haaarrr! :?: I have a task that would benefit from a vacuum pump. You see while you were ‘away’ last year,....... er,..... well just follow this thread and you’ll see what I mean

I had been thinking of just using an “I” spar, but if you have a vac pump maybe you could help an old friend out to both “I” spare and glass the wing? ‘Belt & Braces’ perhaps but very strong wings non the less.
Let me know what time you what time you want to go tomorrow, :D if you want to go that is. :?
joe:
Thanks JP. I'm goin, I'm goin! :D
joe:
Be happy to help Keith. We'll have a chat and formulate a plan.

So fuse has gotten resin and will do the laminate this evening when the resin has gelled.
So the wing.. Well the aim was to make something that is useable and I'm pretty happy that I've achieved that. It's far from perfect and I can see a few things I'd change straight away. Having said that it's not a millions miles away from the one I bought last year. They are a lot of work to make but the finish is really nice. Next one should be a lot quicker. :D :D
Here it is out of the bag. Needs to be trimmed
