Hi all,

I am looking for someone who have experience in mold making for a carbon fibre wing. As you see in the picture below.
http://cretiveproductions.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/s1223-2-stage-back-wing.jpg?w=800


I know that you should make 2 negative molds that splits the wing airfoil at the cordline, (splits the wing in 2 sides)
but do you have to make the upper an lower side of the wing in 2 pieces? and after it glue it toghether? or is there a way to just make the wing in one part?
Any advice?

thanks

You can cut foam with a hot wire in the profile of your wing.  Lay up some carbon on mylar and then wrap the carbon around the core.  Then bag the whole lot.  I put the core, bag etc back into the block of foam you cut the core from to hold it in shape while it cures.  This is great for one offs but not so good for production.
