I took Motormans advice and did a practice run using balsa sandwiched in glass cloth with Z-Poxy, I've never done this before, never made a mold, nothing, I went to youtube found Sparky' video and another guy who used styrofoam clear tape and hairspray to keep it from sticking to the mold, and when Sparky says anyone can do this he aint kidding, I'm blown away by how easy it was and I can even reuse the mold.
A little back history on why I'm doing this, I built a Genesis 35 but opted for fuse gear instead of wing mounted beacause I fly on grass that is not always smooth, I made a set of aluminum gear but they look so out of place on a plane with such smooth lines, so I'm making a set that swoops back a bit and wheel pants to give it a better look, (at least in my opinion
)
Anyway I'm actually excited to try the carbon fiber, one thing, the gear is 20 mm wide so I'm thinking the gear should be at least 1/8th inch thick, any thoughts?
Thanks
