Default RE: Reintroduction of the Smasher

Wow! That got a quick response LOL.
I didn't use the sheet stock for my hinges I laid up two lairs, one of 2oz at the hinge and covered the whole tail surface with .75 oz. I did another one with the 2oz on the bias. They just seemed to be very fragile and want to pop a lot.
My plan this time around is to lay the kevlar down and glass over everything with .75oz. then cut the hinges in. I'm pretty optomistic on how this is going to come out but it's all experimentation at this point.
Like I said if I were using covering this would be a non issue since the covering would hold everything togeather like it did on my BuckShot but I also want to get to painting the model finished.
