Brief Description: Fuselage reinforcement
|
|
Floxed up the edges and applied 2 x BID on top of the interior surface of the rear NACA. Cut peel ply to size, (layup plus 10mm peel border). Wet out over peel ply on the bench and transferred to site. Trimmed all layups wet, on the bench, with electric scissors, and it worked better than the pizza cutter, which I hate using. Tried a new orientation method with A1, (and 1A for the mirror image) marked at a reference point on the core and the cloth. Worked well
Applied 3 x BID between the rear of the AFT MLG Bulkhead and the firewall, along the fuselage side.
Applied 5 x BID to front of FWD MLG Bulkhead. Wet out these in place, because of the screwy shape. As well as A1/1A had marked an X at the hardest corner. Wetting out from the hardest corner outwards made it lay down nicely. Trimmed each ply with the elecky scissors to the cutline I had marked on the fus previously. Worked well. Have also discovered a solid line isn't required, a line of dots works just as well.
Use leftover resin to fill some voids I have marked for just such a circumstance.
Turn the page and discover ANOTHER layup was supposed to go over the first two. Can't do it now, they are greening up nicely and the peel ply is stuck like sh!t to a blanket. Poo.
