Composite question OT
I noticed a recent discussion about materials used for the
construction of Sailplanes. I am looking for a material to help support a weak area on the cowl of an airplane that I fly. It is a power plane (has one of those fuel to noise converters) so please forgive. The cowl is wide and the center is starting to droop and crack. I am tring to find a material (honeycomb?) that is about 1/4 to 3/8th inch thick that I could glass in or use epoxy resin to stiffen the cowl. I am looking for something a bit more structural than layers of fibreglass. I would like for it to be light and thin enough that it does not distrub the airflow inside the cowl. I am looking for something in the range of 4 inches wide by 3 ft long to glass inside the cowl to help support it. It will need to be flexible enough to go around a few minor curves. Thanks in advance for any suggestions from folks that work with composite materials. Take Care Steve |
