Jan 12, 2009     Fabrication of Parts - (4 hours) Category: C21 Strakes
I didn't think to get good pictures of this step. Basically, I followed the CozyGirrls' method to make the strake ribs. It's not hard. You just edge-glue two sheets of foam into one large sheet, glass both sides, then trace and cut out the various strake rib pieces. A band saw followed by some light sanding made quick work of this step. The only complicated part is that it turns the process into a REALLY big layup - I mean, you're stretching very large pieces of fabric out and wetting out/stippling into the center of a large sheet of foam. It really helps to have an assistant for this step, and to use a slower hardener mix. I actually completed this step over a year ago, but hadn't cut all the pieces out until I moved to the hangar. I marked it complete on this date only because on this date both strakes are officially sealed, which means the parts must be done. =D
