Here are some pictures of my first experiments with composites modeling. I have made a mold for Mark Drela's SuperGee2 pod. I tried to make them 2.4ghz freindly. Weights are about 15-16gr.

My vacuum pump made from old HVAC unit parts. Vacuum switch regulates pressure and eliminates the need to run constantly. The system here does not leak at all. Any leaks usually appear at the vacuum bag. I suspect the bag tube fitting is the culprit. -

Red thing is a plasticine impression of the mold. I use this in place of the usual silicone plug. I could not find any local silicone. It works well! -
