Hi all,
I received my 54/4000 case from Scott at Loki Research a little while back. Something else equally as awesome showed up in the shop today, courtesy of a friend.
On the workbench you can see the Loki case with a seemingly unlimited supply of uni carbon prepreg. I've been toying with using prepreg for a while now, and I've just stumbled upon some. Lots if it. A black, tacky gold mine. It's technically past it's shelf life date, but it has been well cared for and the first bake of the stuff was successful.
So, on with the build. First the airframe tube, then fins. I'm still in the research and optimization phase, but the mandrel for the tube is on it's way. If I like the looks of this mandrel, the tube fabrication will start right away, using the prepreg and Dunstone shrink tape for compression.
More to come...
