Default RE: Black Magic VF3 E build thread!

Hi Jason,

I am down here in the shop trying to get a better estimate on the actual sq inches of cloth used to fiberglass the vf3.

and it's more like 1200 sq inches or actually less than a square yard of material, so if that's correct your .75 cloth is only adding about .25 of an once....

That is based on a rough estimate of a 10 x 60" area x2. so the weight increase seems like it's even less than I thought. Mike what do you estimate for the actual cloth on the plane... ???

I know I trimmed off a lot of cloth that's now in the scrape bag....


later friends, dean
