We have just finished our third bottom wing skin! We are now able to make one part a week.


Here are our first bottom skins for our wings. This is the outside (or bottom) surface. There are two layers of fiberglass on the outside, next is a 1/4" last-a-foam layer, followed by a layer of fiberglass on the inside surface, for a total of 3 layers of glass. All three parts have been post cured at 130+ degrees for two hours.

Next week we will make bottom skin number 4, that will become the first outboard half of the outer wing. It will differ from the first three because it will have a removable inspection cover/window for to allow visual inspection and removal of the aileron belcrank and linkage. The following week we will make wing skin number 5 that is a mirror image of number 4. After that we will finish the top skin mold and begin to make the 5 top skins.
