A few better pictures after some sanding. Tomorrow, a bit more sanding and then I will glue the canopy in place. By the end of the weekend I hope to have the fuselage ready for glassing and wing templates cut. I have been doing research on epoxy resins for both the molds and final production. I will be talking with my buddy Scott over the weekend about the resin system he uses for mold production and have decided that MGS will be used for the production of parts. I figure I will need a resin that will give me 2 hours of working time. The fuse will be a minimum of 3 layers of cloth with a core material that will need to be vacuum bagged. 2 hours will be pushing it.
