    IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

    Great work love all the glass work it is very time consuming but attention to detail will give you a smooth beautiful finish when the paint is laid down . What color are you painting , the more coats of a lite color will really increase the weight on the cowl and canopy area . Love the work...

    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    Your one busy builder , I like how the wing is taking shape . Getting back to reinforcing , using a carbon fibre spar you would have to have one that is tapered smaller to the tip to reduce the stress is at the tip as compared to having it thicker at the root closer into the fuselage . Like...

    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    Great of to explain the types of epoxies you have used and are currently using in this build . I do like using HYSOL but im going to search out the LOCTITE E-20HP version as well .

    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    From what i have read and heard about Hysol, is that has a superior strength than a lot of epoxys . Dosen't the Micro fibres lighten up the epoxy and also reduce the strength of the glue .
