Hi!I am looking to produce some cf wing for a roof spoiler and I am wondering how to even start. I am using wet layup and I am not looking forward to use resin inf, because in vaccum as for me it is easier to get better results
I want the wing to be the same profile along whole part so I found some decent-looking wing profile from the internet and I want to transfer it to reality
. After couple restless nights I have some ideas and I want to share them with you Guys and according to your tips I would like to choose the best option
Idea #1 : Build a skeleton with ribs cuted to the wing profile as it is made with conventional aircraft wings and then then cover(skin) it with single layer of 220gsm cf (laminated on piece of glass) by gluing flat layer of carbon to every rib. This picture maybye will make it easier to understand due to my pathetic english.

Idea #3 : I think that third idea is the hardest, but maybe the best for future comercial use. I was thinking about producing plug from foam, wood, mdf etc. and the make a split mould for that, but how to split a mould for wing
I have 2 ideas as shown on this picture, red line means place where mould would split
http://tiny.pl/q7dw8. The hardest part of the mould is the leading edge.
As for now I can't really choose any idea, because every has its advantages and disadvantages
( Please help, share your idea if have any, comment my ideas it would really help
Thank you for taking your time reading my post.
