Jeez! You got enough clamps on that bulkhead Eric?!
Ok Eric, this isn't your glass transition but I just printed my 11.5 Top Gun transition. View attachment 314103
There will be lots of reinforcement on this guy as the 8 inch upper tube will run through the transition into the coupler where it will be supported by G10 rings
Great job with the little helpers, if they want to put a 100 clamps on your bulkheads so be it.
I got mine to help sand with an orbital on some big fins and was ecstatic. He may have gotten a bit to aggressive but he was happy to get to use power tools and it got him off of the video games for a bit.
Looking amazing there Eric! Cant wait to see the color scheme on the Top Gunn.
One final moment in Halloween colors. I liked the orange and black, but just had to go a different direction.
Prime me!
I know one has to paint these things, but there's something about that fin can that makes it look seriously impressive just like that.
Last update for now....
A bit cool, wind present, and just a hint of snow. Wood dust + snow = oatmeal consistency mess that clings to coats, hats, gloves, and face that refuses to let go! For those that complain about a 50 degree workshop being too cold and prohibiting progress....suck it up!:wink:
Coming along nicely Eric. I hope you bring this beast to Airfest this year.
Love the picture and the description of the "muck"
As to "suck it up!":
I can't help it if I live in paradise. 59 degrees is-so (burr) cold.
My proof? Try mixing up a batch of AeroPoxy at 59 degrees and see what it thinks.
(It's as thick as taffy.)
BTW, awesome project(s).
Alright, quick progress update. Though the weather has been less than cooperative, it is time to march on and add some color to this build thread.
One more for Tim51.
