#Glider

Richard A CarterGeneral Flying Skills test passed this weekend!

TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️The glider rudder has been wet sanded down to 1200 grit (first photo), rinsed and dried. Using a coarse polishing pad and cutting/rubbing (not polishing) paste, and about 5 - 10 minutes of work with a dual-action polisher...I got decent results quicker than I expected.This bodes well for all the work I need to do on the larger parts: horizontal stabilizer, fuselage, flaperons, and wings.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/avgeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#avgeek</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ElectricAircraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElectricAircraft</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ExperimentalAviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExperimentalAviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/homebuilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homebuilt</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Glider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Glider</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Paint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Paint</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Sand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sand</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Buff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Buff</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Polish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Polish</a>

TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️This is part of a fairing that goes over the glider's tail wheel. I'm using this part to develop my skill at scraping paint with a straight edge razor. This part fits on the underside of the glider, so nobody really looks at it. It is at the end of 21 ft of fuselage, so the air flow by then is plenty turbulent...so I do not need a pristine surface like I do for the first foot or two of the fuselage. Let's not talk about all the pinnoles, shall we? Anyway, if the part is convex, or saddle-shaped and I can get the razor across the positive curvature axis to do its work... I can quickly and fairly smoothly scrape down runs and drips to get them almost flush with the rest of the surface. Then I smooth it with 600 and 1200 Grit paper before buffing.(After I develop my skills on such small belly parts, then I'll be comfortable working on the fuselage, and finally the wings.)<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/avgeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#avgeek</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ElectricAircraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElectricAircraft</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ExperimentalAviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExperimentalAviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/homebuilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homebuilt</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Glider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Glider</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Paint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Paint</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Sand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sand</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Buff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Buff</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Polish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Polish</a>

TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️Polishing the glider's paint - a brief experiment with an electric dual-action polisher on a test piece.I used a coarse foam disk and cutting/buffing (not polishing) compound. The machine was at the lowest speed and light pressure was used for a minute or two.This is a promising follow up to: <a href="https://universeodon.com/@KrajciTom/114197665061988882" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://universeodon.com/@KrajciTom/114197665061988882</a>The difference in surface prep was obvious. Where the paint had been sanded with 1200, the surface gained a gloss almost instantly. If the surface was sanded with 600, it remained hazy. Those sections only sanded with 400 were very hazy, even with more polishing time and a bit more pressure.It looks like I'll hand sand to 1200, then use the electric polisher.I just had an idea. If I build a bracket/clamp to hold the polisher upside down, I can hold small parts and better control the process.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/avgeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#avgeek</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ElectricAircraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElectricAircraft</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ExperimentalAviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExperimentalAviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/homebuilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homebuilt</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Glider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Glider</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Paint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Paint</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Sand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sand</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Buff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Buff</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Polish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Polish</a>

TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️I need to remove the orange peel texture from my painted parts. I will sand the flaws to remove them.But then I need to use finer and finer sandpaper to prepare to buff and polish the paint to a mirror finish.This evening I'm learning how much work it takes to sand away the flaws, and what grit to use. (400? 600?)And I'm learning how much work is needed at finer grits to prepare for buffing.If you have ever ground and polished glass, this will be a familiar process.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/avgeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#avgeek</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ElectricAircraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElectricAircraft</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ExperimentalAviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExperimentalAviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/homebuilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homebuilt</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Glider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Glider</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Paint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Paint</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Sand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sand</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Buff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Buff</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Polish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Polish</a>

(Hint: You can create shear in more than one way, and it may be better than creating a peeling action with hammer and chisel.)The blue Styrofoam that served as the form will be destroyed as it's removed from the fiberglass wingtip weel, but it's a one-off form/mold that lacked any taper.(This is a follow up to <a href="https://universeodon.com/@KrajciTom/114079474882668327" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://universeodon.com/@KrajciTom/114079474882668327</a> )<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/avgeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#avgeek</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ElectricAircraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElectricAircraft</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ExperimentalAviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExperimentalAviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/homebuilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homebuilt</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Glider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Glider</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Wing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wing</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Epoxy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Epoxy</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Fiberglass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fiberglass</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Composite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Composite</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Shear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Shear</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Peel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Peel</a>

TomKrajci 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️Making a custom wingtip wheel for my glider's right wing.The bottom of the wingtip was covered with clear packing tape, then lightly waxed.Hot glue temporarily attached the blue Styrofoam mold/form, which also contains the 60mm diameter roller blade wheel.The part is made from seven plies of 7725 weave fiberglass that will be cut into a triangular shape after wetting with epoxy.No vacuum bag, so this is a hand lay up. I had to use some small pieces of metal to coax the fiberglass to stay in the correct place.The garage will be heated overnight so that the part cures, then some tugging and a rubber mallet should separate the part.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/avgeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#avgeek</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ElectricAircraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElectricAircraft</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ExperimentalAviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExperimentalAviation</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/homebuilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homebuilt</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Glider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Glider</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Wing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wing</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Epoxy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Epoxy</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Fiberglass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fiberglass</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Composite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Composite</a>
