OK, building up some steam after Speedweek. Spent a fair amount of time with Rick and the Scots, decided to use a NACA duct for the cockpit like the Flower of Scotland has. Instead of buying something I had all my glass supplies handy. This was a 12 pack project over 3 evenings. I bet if you added up my total time it was less than an hour? I call it the 30 minute NACA.
First shot shows the spare foam, attempt #1 and the mold glued to cement board painted and ready to lay-up
second shot, I did one layer of glass cloth and then a layer of mat on top. Beefy enough for a vent!
Last shot, pulled out the plug, and let things cure a bit more. The rattlecan I coated the mold with reacted with the resin! Things are good however. it is trimmer and ready to bodywork into shape for the skin.
This was a trial run for the larger NACA I will use for the engine (thanks Stainless)
