HP-24 update

[Brad[_2_]]

Now, at the complete opposite end of the fabrication spectrum we have
a new update on the HP-24 project at:

www.hpaircraft.com

No fancy autoclaves or pre-pregs here folks,
nope.......................we use icky sticky 2-part epoxy resins and
hoghair bristle brushes! Getting tricky for us is when we whip out the
green plastic squeegees....and were not afraid to do that now and
then!

We made my carbon fiber spars last this week. They turned out pretty
darn nice. Check out the update!

And don't expect to see any footprints on the caps!

thanks! sure is cool stuff!

spar weighs in about 18 pounds right now, it will get a bit heavier
when we add the bushing padups and the carbon butt wraps!

Brad,
Nice stuff, looks like you guys made some progress.
While you were away, Ron has been helping me with my little project.
It's kind of nice that he hurt himself.......It's like having your
own 24 hr. tech. support service at your fingertips.
