Default RE: Vacuum Bag that 424 Wing

Kevin Matney convinced me to try applying the 3/4 ounce fiberglass cloth between the cores and the skins.

I have done bagging twice this way and have to admit that you can apply less glue and result in a lighter weight wing using this method.

It is also stiffer and appears stronger.

The cores in this thread weighed in at about 9 ounces with the leading edge. This is considerably lighter than some that I have done in the past.

If you want a lightweight wing, give this method a try.

It works! [8D]
