Here we ago again!

Hey guys hope all is well.

In the oven is the new tailplane, so in 24 hours it will be ready to join together, the bags sealed perfectly this time, so lots of confidence this one will be the perfect test before the big one.

I weighed the top and bottom skins of the last tailplane and it weighed in at 80g, I know there is the weight of the resin, micro balloons and cotton flock to add but I have managed to reduce the weight of the current tailplane in the oven as the number of carbon tows in the spar has been reduced as the previous example was far too strong.

Andy is due to come visit for the weekend 24/25th Jan so two pairs of hands will see the first complete Zenith in the moulds! At last we are there......2009 watch out there is something in the air...is it a bird...is it a plane, hell no it's a god dam super plane!!

Peace out homies!

PS.. The home brew beer is now ready and tastes great, the last hydrometer reading measures it at 6.1%, the perfect accompaniment if not the main ingredient to a successful workshop session.
