Phil's Carbon Dragon - progress... 29 Nov 2013 15:14 #42

Hi Folks,

Just thought you might like to see a short video of part of one of the leading edge mould plugs being fabricated.



I did try another method of making the moulds first (lining 'negative' formers with a sheet of 0.5mm polycarbonate) but I couldn't get the polycarbonate sheet to conform perfectly to the formers no matter how hard I tried! So... I reverted to using the old, tried and tested method of gluing blocks of polyurethane foam between 'positive' rib formers and sanding... sanding... sanding..!

I hope to cover the polyurethane plug I just made with fiberglass this weekend and perhaps even lay-up the carbon fiber in the new mould next week if all goes well.

Enjoy,

Phil.
