In the 70s when we sheeted foam wing cores with 1/64 th ply we used contact cement on both surfaces used kraft paper between them when aligning and then pulled out the kraft paper and rolled. Sheeting was done and no weigthing required.
its been 1 year since your last video and im assuming your no longer their. you desive some type of medal! it was interesting to see what your world looked like. you are a master! i would have many questions but it appears they got you.
I used to make pylon wings. One time I used a spray adhesive. But did not allow the chemical to dry or gas out. After clamping the foam in the cores with the wood sheets to dry I let them sit. The next day I discovered the glue dissolved the foam.
Thanks for sharing your process. I've heard people use sorghum, epoxy, 3M 777, even expanding foam. I've only used 777 and found it very messy. I might give the Gorilla stuff a try on the next one. Incidentally, I have a minilathe and aluminum stock. It would be interesting to see how you fabricate your struts. I assume the ale is held in the strut with a T-pin?
Have you had any issues with sagging or separation on the under side during hot days? I am building two 1/5th scale AT-6 Texans. What cloth weight do you use? And I can't find 1/4 oz clothe any more. Only 0.56.
I’ve been building for 65 years and always watch videos for something I might have missed and sure enough I picked up a few things I’d missed, I thank you for that. Btw head mounted camera, not good. Made me turn off motion and watch in still mode. Informative video but too much motion.
The head mounted camera was not a good Idea. Your rapid head movement made me motion sick. Other than that. it was a very helpful video. I will be building my first set of foam core wings this winter.
Gorilla glue is amazing stuff whoever invented it should get an award.
Fantastic

Where are you located?

impressive work.

Are you rinsing the foam roller after you are done laying down the glue for future uses or it's a one time use ? Excellent video by the way ..

Is this channel still active?
Why the carbon?

So, the take away is to only roll the glue with the grain, not against it.
Funny how us rc guys end up building wood ultralight airplanes
Where do you get the carbon tow and is there any particular thickness you use ?
Im sure you already found it but for everyone else look for rovings
someone needs to clean up a bit lol looks like my wokshop hope you have a dehumidifier in there alot of dampness in a basement keep up the good work
