I am eventually going to have to make tapered, compound curved
fairings to fit between my sliding canopy rails and the coaming that
will be attached to and slide with the canopy. (I am installing the
RX4 engine in a ackro biplane) Nuclear physics and composites are a
couple of my weaker subjects so please give me all the help you can
think up. I have glassed some small fairings and wing butt's but
nothing complicated. I would like light weight, strong and to be able
to make them look as much like metal as possible. I am assuming foam
fillers covered with modeling clay for the final shape and covered
with a couple coats of spray release agents before the layup. I am
considering carbon fiber for strength, weight and thickness but know
nothing about it. If whatever I use works well I will probably do the
canopy to turtle deck fairing with it also.
   Please forward all the possible info starting with the bulk
filler materials right through filling the finished cloth weave to
look like metal. Remember, I am an empty sponge here :))

Also, I have a brand new, never used, engine stand to rotary engine
adapter from Pineapple Racing. $63.10 new I would like $40 plus
shipping. rjechtinaw(at)toast.net
