• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

New thread,

Constructing my recessed bucket seat.
I borrowed the following from another thread, that wasn't relevant to my task of "lowering my ass in the chair"

Funny!

So I got the mold from the plug this morning.
First time I tried vacuum bagging.

Trouble was, even though I waxed the heck out of it and sprayed mold release. I had to wrestle to get the plug out.!

I needed to glue pieces of foam together to build up the size of the plug. The resin got in the crack (crevices)

It was a pain in the ass :eek:
I think I'll start a new thread...this aint canopy ! It's too low!!


This picture is the same as the one I included in the canopy thread.
Later I will send a picture of the mold I made from this carved hard foam plug.

Man' I hope this works out! :D If it doesn't = well' I gained from the experience at least.
