    The fishing line usage is genius! Excellent lateral thinking to provide a super simple solution to a problem.

    You make it look easy, but I know there's a lot of prep that goes into very nice fuse. Good job. W.

    nice fuse !!! Im about to try my first one, could you tell me exactly what are your materials that you use ? I mean looks like a spread plain carbon fiber of 120k? and the other side has a unidirectional carbon fiber ? could you please telle me what did you use or wich could be the perfect layers? thank you!

    • @bc663

      I use, from outside to inside: 80gsm textreme, 4oz uni carbon, 3/4 glass
      Pod is 4 layers of 2oz Kevlar.
      Add some 12k carbon tow in the saddle area and you’re golden!
      Good luck. Get Lots of practice. Will take you about a dozen to get it right. Don’t give up!

    Hi! I tried myself a first attemp at using a balloon as a bladder inside the moulds but, as I applied pressure it made almost all resin escape.
    I for sure know that my moulds can be distorted and not sealing properly (already planning to rebuild them) but I wanted to know if you wait until the resin gets to the gel stage or you apply pressure right after closing the moulds.
    Also: what layup would you recommend for a DLG pod?
    Thanks for sharing!

    Whoops! a little late to the party. Beautiful work. It looks like you were using Corian for your mould. Did you take it to a CNC machine to have the 'rough cut' routed out?

    • @bc663
      @bc663  11 місяців тому

      Thanks! I milled all my other molds. This one I adopted from another builder. I have adapted it for a canopy recess. But that’s all I’ve done to it.

    Great video,. Can I ask about your mold, is it cnc'd quartz, or a poured epoxy?

    • @bc663
      @bc663  3 роки тому +2

      The mold is cnc’d Corian, a man made countertop. :)

    Hi what thickness is the Corian slab, I am trying to order thick one to make a DLG pod+boom as well. Wanted to avoid wood because it expands too much in winter/summer.

      The key is to debulk the fabric as much as you can. Too much epoxy and the balloon will stick

    thank you for your response, 1) the the 80 gsm textreme and uni carbon you glue it one on top of the other and put it in the mold ? 2) what about the balloon ? do you let it inflate for 2 days while fuselage is curing?

    • @bc663
      @bc663  3 роки тому +2

      Yes 3m77 the textreme, uni, and glass together. The Kevlar is 2 layers of 2oz glued together for a total of 4 layers. Ballon is inflated for 24 hrs.
