Title: prop mold
Post by: frank williams on February 01, 2019, 05:28:22 PM
I just hate it when someone walks in my mold right before layup;
or
How many stuntships does it take to fill a prop mold.

"Remarkably, the 75-meter-long (246-ft) blades consist of a single component made from epoxy resin and balsa reinforced with glass fiber, cast in a gigantic mold using a process Siemens has cunningly named IntegralBlade."

Only if we can't get up the gumption to go out and steal windmill blades!

 O.K. , we wont let on it was yous blokes .  ;D

Youd think theyd fill them with hollow honeycomb things , or left over Mc Donalds cups or something .  ???
Maybe that blue foam'd do it . Why Balsa ? ? .  :(

ANYWAY - THIS is a windmill , youd think theyd know that and do them properly . Maybe those scientists got involved .  :P
