Great work there mate,

[McWoody]

Tidies workshop up today (which took longer than I thought) then when eldest son finally finished bothering me with fitting his gearbox i got started on front wing.
Wooden form first (plus remembered to make 2 of every part so other side will be same )


this one shows the work on the side skirt/intake. Molded expanding foam which will be coated in resin and shaped with filler

then covered form in fabric stretched tight and covered in couple of coats of resin

tomorrow will start with filler to get final shape which i will then take a mould off to make final carbon version

[craig]

Awesome progress dude
Some skills on show there, I'm well and truly subscribed to this development

[McWoody]

cheers for the comments, just hope the end result is worth it

[Goldy]

I love this build, keep the pictures coming!!!

[McWoody]

well got other wing covered and resined today and also got one side and back mocked up. covered it in expanding foam which is going off nice before I will shape and cover in filler.
The foam shapes lovely with a rasp quite theraputic


i'm renaming her the flupmachine

[McWoody]

got the saw out when i got in today. couldnt leave it looking like a flump!

[McWoody]

Pushed the mr out the workshop and had a tidy up. Did some shaping too.
