Fabricated wing tip mold plug. |
In October of 2011, I purchased a Vans RV-8 "QuickBuild" experimental aircraft kit. This blog serves as my builders log and captures the major portions of the build process.

Wing tip - inside plug fabrication
Used 88g of liquid urethane expanding foam poured onto release play lining wingtip inside surface. The 15x expansion created a good size plug. Next step, fiberglass wet layup using the plug to press the glass to the wingtip surface. We may even vacuum bag the plug to the surface so as to minimize epoxy weight and maximize adhesion.
Instrument Panel - composite sides
Sanded mold for side panel pieces. Applied a layer of SuperFill. Will be ready to sand and start vacuum bagging this evening.
