Hi Antonis, great stuff, 1 question - Are you leaving the first bit of glass, the area that rolls onto the boom first, dry? I'm assuming it wets from the resin in the rest of the layup?
VCR will sometimes or most likely tear when unwinding and then it is a pain to take it all off. PP film will always unwind effortlessly. PP film, on the other hand, leaves a noticeable mark on the surface which I don't mind.
You are making it so easy... I will have to try that ! Do you think it is possible to make a tube 1.1 meter long with less than a centimeter in diameter, 0,6 cm per exemple ? ( I am asking, to make a RG65 sail boat mast, which is max 1.1 m long and we like to have 0,6 cm diameter. And if I could have something with a LE profil it would be better, but that is another story ) You make nice planes, keep on doing !!!
Awesome diy DLG boom Antonis! Your constructions are siplier and better. I like your new wing mounting system. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, hope your doing well!
Nice, always great to watch your builds!
Thank you!!!
nice job!. You've mastered wound CF booms! Good weight too...bravo
Thank you 🙂 Not perfect, just an alternative..
Less than 11 g. Good work!

Yes, it wets from the rest as you noticed!
Wet the layer as you place them down one by one and not all at once as shown in the video.
@@afilos Ok I hear you, thanks.
Why did you step away from using the VCR tape?

Hello, where do you buy the carbon?

If you put a lubricated screw into the nut, you don't have to be so careful with adding the silica/epoxy mix when glueing the nut.
Yes I am aware of that but sometimes you do things your own way for some or no reason 😁
@@afilos - so true! :)
If you had a 3D printer, I would use it to make alignment jigs to make the holes in the boom. I don’t know how to send you pictures!

Thanks, yes why not but try to make it with a taper because its easier to de-mold.
