Hi Matt,
Received the carbon veil yesterday and had a chance to have a look at it today. Just one more delivery and then I'm all set to start. Can't believe all the stuff needed as all my old building stuff was either used or dumped - ARF's !!!
Anyway I got 0.2oz and 0.3oz.
The 0.3oz is actually 0,33oz and it is much more substantial than the 0.2oz.
It seems more dense as well to being deeper in section. I think this will be better on the outside as should have a little more meat to bite into when sanding.
So to go 0.2 oz inside and 0.3oz outside will take 7g of veil inside and 12g to 15g of veil outside per wing. Time will tell how much dope,filler and primer to get paint ready.
But this will have to be an extremely strong and stiff wing.
Also I can glue the skins to the cores for between 20g and 25g per wing as well. Have done some testing on this.
Time will tell now - busy for the next week or 2 but will get stuck in then.
