How Do You Make A Fiberglass RC Plane?
Fiberglass is a durable material that works well for RC airplane fuselages. It would be impractical to build wings or movable tail surfaces from fiberglass; these are best built of foam or wood. Fiberglass wings would be too heavy and lack the interior support needed to handle the stresses a wing experiences in flight. Fiberglass is used to reinforce RC airplane wings. Building a Fiberglass Fuselage Step 1 Apply the release agent to your mold. This is needed to separate the finished fiberglass part from the mold. You should have a left side and right side mold for the fuselage. Step 2 Cut strips of fiberglass cloth to lay in the molds. Do not put the strips into the mold in the same direction; varying the weave of the fiberglass cloth increases the parts strength. Make sure each piece extends past the edge of the mold. Step 3 Apply the fiberglass resin with a paintbrush. Make sure all of the fiberglass gets saturated with resin. Step 4 Allow several hours for the resin to dry. The part
