Yeh Jeff, that is really nice. I find it fascinating how you are able to make such nice parts at home with your own hands. I am definitely going to try to take the EAA composite class this year.

Steve - I’m thinking to make a cf seat pan (vac bagged) too... and a baggage floor. Hope to have a boot cowl mold this weekend. Weather may be a factor though.
Eddie - there are a ton of vids out there. Fiberglast.com has a bunch of resources (vids and PDFs) at the bottom of their home page. Buy some stuff and get to work! I use comositeenvisions.com for supplies.

Oil cooler scoop cleaned up a bit. 7.1 oz! Wet layup, not vacuum bagged.

Laid up the boot cowl mold today. Took a little longer than I thought. The white part on the plug is flanging material to make it possible to vacuum bag the part.

I wish I was helping you! Dealing with crap.
Boot cowl mold! Couple spots that need fixed but I think not bad for a first mold!
