JSM, most would agree with you, and it will be discussed at the next Exec. Comm. meeting. There are many options. And, yes, a NARAM at this time at least is way out of the question. I feel that hosting…   Read more»

Personally, being a member of NCR (and PHITS before that), I would love our club to sponsor an NAR national event. However, I don’t think doing a NARAM is the right thing for our club. That would feel more like…   Read more»

Done.

Bruce,One thing to do is go to the CRASH site and subscribe to their list sender–I get the once a day bulletin. You can get a feel for the various members and club activities. There should be rising excitement as…   Read more»

Agreed, John. Just let me know who I need to contact and anything I can do.

Bruce,Totally agree, we need to carry the weight, otherwise it aint happening. We should do some prep work prior to the Jan mtg, ordinating with Crash, and have a clear plan to present.I’m just not gonna go out on a…   Read more»

Oh, boy… I’ve been thinking about a way to reply to this. Let’s see, John Wilkes has contacts with at least one TARC team, Joe is our main NAR contact, I stood in line with Jay Apt at NARAM-11 in…   Read more»

Bruce,Now thats a really interesting idea. But getting back to your inquiry, what will it take just to get a good regional NAR event flown from North. I think at least the following:first and foremost coordination with CRASH. They will…   Read more»

I think it would be a good idea. It would draw a lot of people, yes, but I think it is manageable. It is certainly nothing like an LDRS, but we have the site for it and it would bring…   Read more»

Well said, John. I’m not a member of CRASH. I just found NCR by luck. You can’t host a NAR event with a lake on the site. Trees would be bad enough. The Pawnee sites are perfect. Since you’ve delved…   Read more»

Bruce,Your 12*** beats my 13*** Nar number. Heres my 2 cent analysis. A venn diagram shows overlap between groups. My guess is that there are 8 or so guys who regularly fly/participate at both T-C and NCR(myself, James R, John’s…   Read more»

I love working with Laminates and doing tubes and all that cool stuff myself. Im really thinking about doing some of my own Glass or CF tubes for a big project. Like the 18 to 24 inch diameter tubes. Would…   Read more»

Made all the difference in the world, Conway. I never had to touch the cloth, so it didn’t stretch or bubble up or anything. Just layed down and smoothed right into shape. It was sweet! 8) I might start likin’…   Read more»

Glad you like the paint roller tip Bruce!! sounds like it made it a snap for you.

Well, layed up the fins to the motor mount. Didn’t even have to use those fake credit cards from the mail! That miniature paint roller smoothed everything out. I’ll admit I never really like this part. But this was too…   Read more»

Other epoxies are intended to be heat cured. I believe Aeropoxy is one.Aeropoxy for laminating (layup work) can be cured “well over 200 degrees [F].” The working time is an hour. I’m sure Warren is right about another higher temperature…   Read more»

here is some differences. Note the minimum temps they are testing with. Increased temps decrease cure times. Ive seen the Fast cure in a couple hours to overnight.205 Fast Hardener205 Fast Hardener is a medium-viscosity epoxy curing agent. It is…   Read more»

Conway, the Aeropoxy is similar… mixed blue and red, got a brownish color, then it set and dried clear. Kinda cool.

What kind of working times do you get with the 205?I may look into that, as that is currently my biggest problem with west (when I use it for bonding).

I use the 206 as well. for laminations stuff. BUT when doing work with things like G10 glass or filiment/convolute wound glass tubing the speed of the epoxy is irrelavant as it is only a surface bonder not a penatrant…   Read more»
