<\/a> <\/p>\n All practice external filleting I had done so far had neglected the ends; it was more focused on the the main stretch. The width of the fillets needs to converge to zero at both ends of the fin on the air-frame. I did a simple plot y = 2x^2 \u00a0on my printer and printed it out and used it to create masking tape pieces to stick at the fin ends. What resulted looks as follows:-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We made a normal ‘peanut’ consistency batch of Epoxy. We decided to use the new syringes as the old ones are too sticky and hard to push.<\/p>\n We originally made 20ml\/4ml of epoxy for one one side of fins (lower and upper fins). We found that there was probably about 6ml of epoxy left over – so wastage. In future Epoxy runs, we’ll make it up using 15ml\/3ml of 105\/206.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Back fin.<\/p>\n Fairly happy with it. I am going to need to build up the back\/front of fins to ensure smooth transition. Not quite as good as I had hoped there.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Preparation Preparation is key to the success. I\u00a0made sure we sanded the areas to be filleted with Grit 60 Sand paper, that they were then cleaned with Methylated spirits and then taped up.
