Glider progress on closing out open spaces in the fuselage.

First photo shows the new fiberglass closeout panels I made this weekend. The new panels have bits of blue tape on them.

Second photo shows a fiberglass GPS antenna bracket near the top of the turtle deck.

What you don't see in the second photo are the wing spars, which will run across this space.

I am considering also making fiberglass shields to cover the autoconnect funnels, which are gray and located aft of the wing spar cutouts.

Making glider composite parts requires time, and timing because epoxy must first cure.

Before I went to bed last night, I layed up fiberglass on simple molds to make various closeout panels.

The epoxy cured while I slept, at least enough to de-mold.

Now the parts are sitting on the glider trailer and getting warmed by the sun. In a couple hours they will be fully cured.

A home-made spring clip for small parts in the glider cockpit.

This is just several plies of fiberglass wrapped around a piece of foam that was sanded to a taper and the desired dimensions. Fiberglass can serve as a spring, but I would not use it this way where cycling fatigue is possible.

"The Painter's Workplace"

One of my early and more adventurous outings in making a 360 degree image from 6 fisheye lens photos. Suspending the tripod from the roof for the down shot was fun*.

It's not perfect by any means, though #hugin was most helpful in splitting the overhead double fluoro light near exactly in half, when it auto detected the stitching needed.

Composite steel pipe: carbon steel pipe lining stainless steel:composed of carbon steel pipes as the base pipe, and the stainless steel liner pipe is combined with the base pipe through composite processes such as shrinkage, cold expansion, explosion or brazing.which greatly improves the corrosion resistance of the steel pipes, while retaining the mechanical strength and good sealing of the steel pipes.‌.

yeah so dl some other models - the model i first tried basically sucked - what i really want is realtime rag - i don't need instant answer i would rather wait for a minute while i get an answer but one that is up to date #feed your portals #composite shell script score #ticker tape
