Just pulled the first painted part out of the mold and thought I'd share some pictures and tell you all what I'm up to. You can see some pictures of the unpainted prototypes at my RCgroups blog here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=22383
These "after market" nose cones have a molded in nose skeg and fit the Kennedy Composites Supra. No more dragy and ugly taped on devices for us. These will be painted in the mold for a nice finish. Our standard layup is a glass shell with a carbon anti split band at the rear and the skeg itself is a composite of Kevlar and carbon fiber. Other layups are possible on request. Red or white paint. May consider adding other colors.
Many thanks to my friend Dom who helped me make the mold and learn the process. My Son AJ and I hope to sell a handful of these. I'm hoping to raise a little money to help get me to Turkey to watch AJ fly in the F3J World Champs for which he is a USA Junior Team member (Note Dad's are not included in the official USA team fund raising efforts). AJ is raising money for a new sailplane. Production will be limited because we have school and a day job.
Price is $150 plus $8 shipping
