That's a difficult question w/o knowing what you're working on.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the tips Verne. I guess I was a little vague, wasn't I? I am expecting to be bagging wings and stabs, as you thought. Probably also a bit of laminating former material, firewalls, etc. But no glider wings or anything like a wet layup.

I will order an extra nipple or two for a second set of bags, I never thought of that but will certainly need it. I am ordering the larger bagging material and breather cloth with it, and I think it will do any wings I anticipate needing. Certainly up to 2M pattern and 35% scale aerobatics stuff and I don't see ever going larger than that. I think I will add a piece of their standard tube for the stab, it will be about the right size for that.

I plan to start with bagging in the shucks and use a flat board on top of the assembly with some weight to keep it all straight, very similar to what you describe. My first project will be a Q500 wing and then probably a T2A-40, after that I will try some bigger stuff.

Thanks,
Mark
