Garage Works, Part 2 - 9/4/2023

The epoxy from this morning was ready to sand this evening - so I just went that route (top deck fill coat).  I actually sanded the perimeter of the bottom deck just to see what low spots may have been sneaking through the filling.

I got the sole top deck logo that will sit under epoxy and got the top deck fill coat on.

This should turn out really nice!

I even placed carbon in the spot where I had sanded through the high spots.

And since I had some carbon laying around, I got the bottom of Roland's Hyper 190 laminated.  I put 4 layers of carbon with one overlapping the middle section.

This is really an experiment - I'm not sure where the cracks are.  I figure there is nothing to lose...  I'll have to sand and address the area behind the foil also (can feel something going on there) - Roland actually pointed out Uni changed the way the new foils are built out - they have flanges now (90 degree points are bad on foils... they are shear points).

Garage Works - 9/3/2023

This is Roland's Hyper 190.  It was pushing salt out of a hairline crack along the fuselage/front wing interface.  I'm going to put some carbon fiber and epoxy over the cracked area to get this back into riding shape.

Here is one of the hairline cracks.

And this is what it looked like after I sanded to below the crack.  They were actually pretty shallow, so this should be an easy fix.
