So I am looking the get started with making my own airframes, and the current plan is to make some 54mm carbon pieces from the Soller Composites Carbon sleeves to match Wildman airframe dimensions, with either a paper or fiberglass coupler as a mandrel.
So the target would be OD 2.242", ID 2.152" for a wall thickness of 0.045". It looks like two medium sleeves and a light sleeve will get me pretty close (0.047), but I was wondering if anyone had any guidance in terms of sleeve sizing, how much overhang for stretching and securing, and using the Soller shrink tube.
I've seen plenty of videos on using the sleeves to glass paper tubes, but couldn't find a lot on using them to make a standalone airframe.
Thanks
