RE: B-36 build thread and free plans
Looks fabulous considering the minimum time you have had to concentrate on what you wanted to do for this.
I would create an isolated retract well to reduce the pressures which will accompany that large mains opening.
When you make your lower retact nacelle be sure to layer it with carbon fiber veil to stiffen it because it is so
large. You don't want it vibrating in the breeze.
Remember its how and not how much....you could use card board and it would have accomplished the same as
balsa after the veil and resin are laminated to it. Placing Syran Wrap flat onto a sheet of glass provides a good
platten for laying up veil, the properly sized card board strips, and another veil on the opposite side. Squeegy
and place second Syran Wrap on the top before laying another sheet of glass on top.
What you end up with is a light weight strip you can form into what you need on either side of the strut and the
wheel. If you have thin G-10 it works best because its ready made: ) Wanted to explain how to roll your own so
to speak.
