Default RE: Build Thread-Scratch built for 8s

Rendegade,

I'm pulling just 8"hg. I'll pull more next time. I had considered peel ply, but am trying to get them so that I do not need to do a secondary operation. As far as the fabric goes, that is just the outer layer, and is mostly for looks. I like to lay up on plastic sheet, and even if I did not use CF, I would use some kind of fabric. I find it easier to squeegee resin to fabric, then place a layer of tow, then a thin (2oz) layer of fabric so I can squeegee another coat of resin. I repeat until I have the buildup I want.

Got the wings framed up this weekend, will post pictures soon.
