Composite Airplane Construction, day 2

Wing section

Bulkhead / t-section

Clay Molded air-inlet

On the second day of the course we finished up our wing and bulkhead projects. The topics covered were bonding / joining, repairing, vacuum bagging, and finishing. Unfortunately we were running short on time, so the instructor had to go through finishing pretty quickly. This is my only criticism of the course. Finishing is at least 30% of the project, and very little time was spent on it. Granted, there were a lot of topics covered in the 2-day course, so I can't complain too much. I am really glad that I took the course. It has given me the confidence and knowledge that I need to get started.
