We carried on doing components job.
The stanchion looks pretty good but resin didn't go further down to fibre glass because we put resin after winding fibre glass in a dry stage so we had to do this again. How we released this is we flew hot water through the tube for a while, flew cold water through for a while and quickly hold that mould and tube, wound them up.
flowing water through the tube
released. We can use referidgerater instead but cold water must be faster.
It was so rigid but we made it again. There might be some methods to get released easily. Cut tube all the way through and put a thin strip in the gap(I still don't understand exactly) or even make tube made up of thin strips.
Andrew took the jigs off temporarily to get the coving faired.
Mast plate went through the foam below this half moon shaped plate. Try not to damage the outside glass. Mark where the plate goes into, drill the foam, use hacksaw blad, sandpaper(with board), chisel, finish it nice and neat.
This is where the prow tube go through the bulkhead. It is bored a little bit bigger length ways and gibe it an angle for the way the tube go in.
Centre case vacumed yesterday is done well. The small bit of foam with vac tape on it is for an experiment for vacuming with peel ply to see if it works.
Stanchion again. Vacuming.
cockpit bulkhead flange laminated yesterday.
The mast plate is gone into the foam. It has to be come out 25mm from the aft side of mast bulkhead. Glass plate could be sanded easily with using disk sander.
This is where I worked today.
Don't forget to peel the peel ply off. It is coved with 403 fibre.
Flange is laminated. Pre-wet the EDB tape with peel ply on it, move it into this.
Not bad. That peel ply keep falling off, which is annoying.
Lance is boring holes where the centre case is going to go through.
This is how it goes.
He is cutting out the frame. Centrecase hole is gotta be cut 5mm bigger than the centre case. If it is small the centre case will be banded and we can fill the gap with glue anyway.
It is fixed with wedges temporarily.
The other plates of rudder plate went into the flange.
Lance set up the gantry tube. Use clamp to fix them together with long pieces of wood going through the tubes.
We prepared the lamanating next week.
Chris explained what toggle is and how it is going to work with the tube, slot on the foam going on the prowtube. It makes sense.
Huge cove. We used that rubberised epoxy about 700g. Give it a thin coat on the tube.
Coving on a circular tube is just as twice as the normal cove on flat surface.
