Slooooooow

Sorry, progress is going a little slow these days as I have been side tracked on some other projects. I have however made a little progress by gluing both the motor bulkheads in place.

In order to get the alignment correct I made a small template I could attach to the bulkhead as if it was the motor through which I could pass the stuffing tube so that I could get the bulkhead aligned correctly.

The pictures tell the story I hope.





The bulkhead was glued on one side (side facing bow) with an epoxy resin mix and cotton flakes. When this was dry I removed the shaft and template and laminated the backside of the bulkhead with resin and a CF cloth in strips of about 1cm wide.




I then repeated the process for the second bulkhead.
