Brief Description: New Cooler flange continues into plenum
Wow, already a month gone by without an update. I had some great help last week from a world class guy and fellow canard builder, Shane Banquer. Shane and I layed out the dimensions for the new firewall oil cooler plenum and found we could build a box like plenum perfectly using paper templates alone. Shane went to work laying up the 4 Plies of UNI which were then cut out using the templates we made. Later on I superglued the parts together, then wrapped the corners in 2 plies UNI to complete the box. Finally a round of micro on the exterior and radiused corners on the inside were applied. I will get her as close to being ready for paint as possbile before bonding her to the firewall. Although, I may opt for making her removable rather than permanent based on several factors I haven't worked through yet. We shall see.
