Default RE: Proud Bird Construction Thread

I vacuum bagged the wings similar to that done on the tail. This method was explained to me by Ed Smith and Kevin Matney.

One wing uses a piece of 2 ounce fiberglass cloth as a hinge. The other uses taffeta as the hinge.

Lightweight 3/4 ounce fiberglass cloth goes over the entire wing.

Skin It epoxy was applied and spread with a squeegee.

The wings were places between pieces of polyester cloth (peel ply) and then placed in the vacuum bag.

The pump was turned on and parts were let to dry overnight.
