Big day of fibreglassing today - multiple batches. First up was the cowl pin covers. I laid a couple of 6oz layers and will let it cure properly, then split and build up further. |
|
Then 2oz finishing layers on the lower surfaces of the plenum inlet - left |
|
and right. This side was more problamatic to get a neat solution. |
|
Then oil cooler interior finishing with 2oz, not sure if has all bonded fully, but I can sand out any problem areas later |
|
A little experiement for the FAB recess that is going to be needed for the nose gear leg. Might work, might not - but good prep. |
|
Dad continued to keep cutting glass, whilst I mixed and pasted. |
|
Same sort of prep thinking with the nose gear leg, this might be used for the 'inner' of the upper fairing. |
|
Also added fibreglass / flox reinforcement and brackets on the main gear fairings. |
