Re: Echo Station 57, we're on our way....slowly
Thanks Jason. As I mentioned the hulls you got were a bit of a Beta Test and I've optimised things a bit better for the ones I'm doing now. The hulls and airbrake boxes are an Epoxy gel coat backed up up with a carbon fibre reinforced epoxy paste. Strong but light.
The hulls actually have a bit of flex in them which helps in the build. Everyone should note that though strong the hulls are more brittle than say the same thing done in PU. Take care with the edges of the hulls till they are fixed together. As they are epoxy a bit of milliput will sort out any filing issues.
Hope it goes together ok.
