Tucano Part 21 Making wing mold

Design and build a large scale RC model of the A314 Super Tucano. From 3D design to using 3D printed parts to make the plug. Then build the molds and layup the model ready for test flights.

Very nice to see someone doing just about what i want to do ---i e make glass glider wings . One part i don't get Sir is the tooling goat , what is this and how does it work. i under stand a little about making moulds but have always worked in sand Foundey moulder by trade , I thought you would have started with a gel coat. Sure would like a little help. Thanks john.

[@britcharming]

only used on molds, it provides a harder surface for many layups

[@michaelvonfeldt9629]

I’m surprised the PVA doesn’t fill in the rivet details

[@britcharming]

Ava cures to microns thick so great for details

Hello from a fellow Brit. Just found your channel and binge watched the Tucano series, very informative. Looking through your back catalogue and was amused to find a random video on how to make rice pudding……🤣🤣🤣. Keep up the good work….👍🏻

[@britcharming]

Thanks Ian... Its good pud from my brother

[@woutershorts]

Quick question: do you let it completely harden between every layer of cloth you put on or are you waiting till the resin is tacky and then continue with the next layer?

[@britcharming]

I only wait for the tool coat to be partially tacky. Once I get the first layer on over the tool coat you just keep going until done. No waiting at all

[@woutershorts]

@@britcharming Thank you; that is awesome. I learned a lot from your videos, even if it fails 🙂 For other videos you will make, it would be helpful to show the materials and tools you will use. Especially if there is a brand preference based on bad or great experience. Just my two cents on trying to understand the details.

[@britcharming]

tools and materials are usually in the description with links.. thanks for watching T33 coming soon

[@Airsally]

Very nice Ace....yeah 6 to 7 hours to make a half of a mold is no joke. Your hands and back are so done when you finish. A lot of work.

[@colinturner5035]

Enjoying the Tucano series. Looking forward to finding out how the other side of the wing is done, especially the position of the parting planes to ensure the thickness of the wing is correct. Also how you match up the mating detents with the silicon door stoppers.

Very intresting !!! Many thanks from France :)

[@richardobrien6188]

Do you have to worry about an amine blush when laminating? I have non-blushing hardener but would rather use the standard hardener. Great series with multiple applications! I'm actually making a mold for a Greenland kayak paddle.

[@britcharming]

I use aeromarine epoxy out of california and never had blushing

[@richardobrien6188]

@@britcharming Do you have a source for the powdered aluminum and graphite?

[@britcharming]

I for got the source but search amazon or eBay and get the finest that you can get

[@richardobrien6188]

@@britcharming I couldn't find any aluminum except for abrasive aluminum oxide. I'm pretty sure we don't want that! But I did find powdered stainless steel, so went for that. You can't believe how helpful your channel has been. Thanks for the efforts!!

[@britcharming]

SS should work fine

Thanks for another informative video. Definitely learning some things to try for my next project.

[@britcharming]

I'm glad that my vids are useful

[@alfredvink]

Fascinating to see your craftsmanship, love your videos!

[@britcharming]

Thanks much

[@craigcarr5704]

Excellent series, so very well demonstrated. Thank you

[@britcharming]

Thanks so much I appreciate the comment

[@ArnoldClaycomb]

Do you care about the direction of the glass between each layer?

[@britcharming]

I cut my cloth into medium sized strips so when I lay them up I do change the angles of the weave

[@raphaelmiracle5591]

please I didn't see the description on the material that you used

[@britcharming]

The list is in most of the Tucano Descriptions. I stopped listing due to no interest

[@michaelbontoft5026]

Thank you for a very informative video. Do you wax the plug before the PVA or just PVA alone? 👍

[@michaelbontoft5026]

Just watched the previous video and that answers my question. 👍

[@britcharming]

Yes I wax about 2 to 3 coats then PVA

[@martinacosta6475]

Very good video😊, I look forward to the release. I don't remember 🤔, if you uploaded the video of the assembly of the mold drawer.

[@britcharming]

Not sure what you mean by drawer?

[@martinacosta6475]

@@britcharming Excuse my bad English, (I use a translator), I mean the support that holds the wing plug.
