Composite Workshop &
Riveting Workshop
There will be two
workshops on Saturday, 9/11 from 9-11:30am & 12:30-4pm.
How many sign up for the
workshops, will determine the format. There is a limit of 10 for each Workshop,
so sign up early.
The Composite Workshop,
9-11:30am, will consist of fabricating a 16” long wing section with a foam core
and 3 ply wet layup. Everything needed for the task will be included in the
“Composite Kit” or be available for use. You will learn to Hotwire using
templates on both ends of the foam and covering the shaped foam with fiberglass
& epoxy resin. Many homebuilt experimental aircraft are built entirely using
this moldless method.
Composite Kit - $24
(1)
4” x 8” x 16” Blue
foam, (2) Wing profile template, (1) 8.8oz BID (Bidirectional) 16” x 16”
fiberglass cloth, (2) 7oz UNI (Unidirectional) 16” x 16” fiberglass cloth,
Mixing cup & sticks, (8oz) Epoxy resin & hardener, (1) Brush, (1) Squeegee, (1)
Pair of gloves & (1) 2oz Peel Ply 16” x 16”.
The Rivet Workshop will
consist of riveting a 5”x7” aluminum picture frame or a prefabricated aluminum
toolbox.
The frame takes less time
and most of the holes are pre punched but still introduces you to riveting.
The finished toolbox is
4”H x 6”W x 16”L. This Toolbox Kit comes with documentation, along with all the
parts and rivets needed to complete the toolbox. This training project consists
of several pre-punched parts that are riveted together to form the box and lid
and a hinge to hold them together. This will let you try several styles of
riveting, using aluminum parts identical to those that make up an airplane.
Picture Frame - $12
Toolbox Kit - $28
