Hello Rick Your problem sounds like a different one from the one that Jim described. I would guess that it is a little cool where you are working and that you did not use any type of hot box or anything other than room temperature. If I am right that Epoxy can cure for two weeks and not be

Hello Bill I had this problem at one time and found that the carbon fiber had a light mesh of material to hold it in shape. The problem is that this material has a reaction to the epoxy and generates a gas (out gasses) which makes the bubbles. Two things will cure it. One is to remove t

Hello Curt Thompson About the trouble that you had with the vacuum bagging. If you used a linear carbon tape, did it have a white filmy binder on one side? If so the problem is that the material that it is made of will react to the epoxy and outgas,forming bubbles all along the area of the

Hello Joe I think that the bow that you found is fine. It seams to have a metal bar on top that could be a problem with insulation of the cutting wire but it looks fine. I will state this as simple as possible. Why I do not like Feather cut! A few years ago there was a seminar on compos

The plane that you are describing is it a thermal plane ,a slope plane or a slope race plane? My canard turns well in thermals and it also turns fast in a slope race. The only time that it slows is if it turns into a heavy head wind. Just trying to understand your questions. Thanks Del RCSE-Lis
