Whoops! a little late to the party. Beautiful work. It looks like you were using Corian for your mould. Did you take it to a CNC machine to have the 'rough cut' routed out?
Hi what thickness is the Corian slab, I am trying to order thick one to make a DLG pod+boom as well. Wanted to avoid wood because it expands too much in winter/summer.
nice fuse !!! Im about to try my first one, could you tell me exactly what are your materials that you use ? I mean looks like a spread plain carbon fiber of 120k? and the other side has a unidirectional carbon fiber ? could you please telle me what did you use or wich could be the perfect layers? thank you!
I use, from outside to inside: 80gsm textreme, 4oz uni carbon, 3/4 glass Pod is 4 layers of 2oz Kevlar. Add some 12k carbon tow in the saddle area and you’re golden! Good luck. Get Lots of practice. Will take you about a dozen to get it right. Don’t give up!
@@bc663 perfect! do you think a twill carbon fiber of 200 gr with the tow ok 100 gr and fiber glass will work? here in Argentina we don´t have unidirectional of 100 gr, only 200 gr but is very expensive. what do you think replace de unidirectional for twill 200 gr? thanks
thank you for your response, 1) the the 80 gsm textreme and uni carbon you glue it one on top of the other and put it in the mold ? 2) what about the balloon ? do you let it inflate for 2 days while fuselage is curing?
Hello there, how are you ? im making some tests with mold and ballon and there is no way to get 25 psi pressure, it explote every time. It´s happend to you? I think maximum 15 psi is my limit...any thoght of what is wrong? thanks !
@@bc663Yes posible something of those are wrong.... when you put the layer of Unidireccional you put the lines parallel to the fuselage or perpendicular ? thanks
@@bc663 Is there any reason why you choose the " flat side " of the mold to be the one you put around the inflate tube ? can I do it in the other side or there is a reason ? thanks as always
