The last holiday is begun. We carried on fitting the foam strip, finished girder, bulkhead, flange cutting.
Chris put small pieces of wood on where the wrinkles were to make sure to push down to get rid of them.
We cut out the slots of the girder and the bulkhead and fit them out. They have to be sit as exact as possible on where they have to be on without bending or twisting. We used spirit level to mark the slot and cut it out with a diamond grinder.
We trimmed the cockpit underside of the bulkhead to match the height of which the girder's one. We can see collision bulkhead dryfit as well.
It is 600mm from F.P to the centre of the bulkhead, so we moved 4mm forward from the initial dimension which was 600mm. sort of annoying design...
We are going to use rubberised epoxy on the flange to the bulkhead. Using rubberised epoxy is said to be hard as well as expensive so we decided to do next term. The masking tape is put over where the cove goes on the bulkhead.
She's becomming a terminator. We can see a small foam stick to get the shape of upforward cabin top which is quite diffcult to because of not enough twisting.
Coving for collision bulkhead is ready but we had limit time left so it will be done next term. The collision bulkhead will be coved with filler we used and be covered by two layers of EDB for the joint.
Those screw nails didn't penetrate the foam strips but they slightly grab on top of them. It gave damage a bit but not a bad idea. Drillling is necessary and in the case of using timber, it should be.
Holiday~~~

Glass plate goes in that way, which looks nice. One minor thing I am concerned about the strip is that one short strip as it can be seen on photo is going to be cut or not for another glass plate going on to the mast bulkhead.

Masking tape for temporary fitting up

not bad so far
on going

Marked one side of the bulkhead going on
get ready
getting there
It's the resin of rubberised epoxy which looks thicker than prior ones.
Hardner. I look forward to using this.

Being ready to glue, we stood some timber up to use to pushdown the strips.
nice bids which we scrabed off later on
get the foam in void space between strips, put some wedges under the hat to push the strips down
That's all for today. That bulkhead will be glued next term but we did the glass plate on it today.
There is no solution to get the proper shape.
