Brief Description:  Left Wing Cores

Tried again to find foam scraps to make the lower winglets, and there was not one bit big enough. Put together two of the big end blocks and have enough for two lower winglets. That is it for blue wing foam. I though I would use it for around the canopy, but just discovered a big sheet of H45 2" foam in the attic, and I imagine that is what is for. Put as much of the remaining foam blocks that looked useful into the remaining boxes and chucked it back into the attic. The rest I broke up and bagged for disposal. Shop looks pretty again.

Marked up some foam for the front seat thigh supports, so visitor will have a layup to see/do. This was not straight forward, have to allow for the seat back being aft 1", the size of my arse, the height of the instrument panel and how to do the overhang and rear bevel. Might need a flox corner later at the trailing edge too. Made a jig to do a bit to drape over the instrument panel. Might work.

Put a 1m extension on my 3m straight edge, but it was too long to prop against the wall of the shed, and the joining pieces of Al angle allowed it to bend immediately, and flop around when straightened again. Ripped up a piece of hardwood 400mm long that fits snuggly within, cut the extension in half and re-attached to make a 3.5m straight edge that fits in the shed and doesn't bend. Not at the joint anyhow.

Cut up the rest of the off-cut for more mixing sticks, as I had wrecked a few 5 min epoxying and hot glueing together foam blocks.
