Tauten the the dry fibers on a flat nonstick surface (packing tape on the building board this time) then squeegee(?) Epoxy to "Wet Out" the fibers. Carefully pull the fibers off the surface and transfer to Basswood cores. Clamp between flat surfaces for curing. |

I used a Balsa stripper to keep the cuts as square as possible. Using a Scalpel blade which is thinner than an Exacto made this easier. |

This will be a small Slope Glider with Pivot wings that I can travel with on my journeys throughout Europe. Starting with a trip to Denmark in a couple weeks to the Island of... RØMØ. Hence the name..haha. I have moved to Germany and finally have some time to build. Yay!! |
