Nice work, I like the wing root fairings, how did you make those and what material?

Thanks John and Dorsal,
I'm enjoying your build John and the little modifications you've come up with!
I have made the wing root fairings out of carbon fiber. I cut the top flat pices out of a sheet that I had and vacuum baged, then clecoed those 2 strips on to the aircraft and molded the cuff pice out of plasticine and then i did a lay up over that to form the cuff.

Love it Ben! I said way back that I was determined to finish mine first, or, on seeing yours, I would be so dispirited that I would never finish! Great idea about the wing root fairings. It was good to see you and Kath over here for the weekend.
Ben posted one pic of his Waivex, but here is another - again, beautiful workmanship and an indication of what we can expect when he finishes the Kitfox SS7!
cheers

Looks great. You can sell some of those to us who don't have the skill set!
Thanks Esser, it had crossed my mind but I recon all the windscreens could be shaped slightly different plus I have 1 degree fwd sweep.
And I'm slow enough building one aeroplane haha
