Brief Description:  Making Winglet Cap for Pitot Tube

The 1st mold I tried bagging but that didn't turn out so well. The Bag deformed the foam and the mold came out twisted. So, I started over and the next mold I didn't Bag and it turned out much better. I removed the Foam and Build 2 ribs out of Phenolic Block and installed the Pitot Tube. I then used 5 Min Epoxie to secure a piece of 1/8" birch plywood inside the top of the winglet letting it protrude out the top to create a lip. I then 5 Min epoxied the Cap in place over the plywood. It came out nice.
