Hello
Its a long story but a ozzie guy here in china wanted to build a steel framed kit plane ,and after a month of making things and throwing everything away and getting no where fast , I packed my bags and left him to his crazy carry on's .
Once I got home in another part of china and had lots of thoughts of why hasn't some one used composite framing to make planes ! then I got into bike frames and how they were made but to many of them break when they shouldn't so had to be more robust plus needed shapes, so hard plastic tubing should be ok to make the desired shapes to mold over then pull the plastic out from inside !
Have over the years make lots of fibre glass pipes for exhaust systems for boats all shapes and sizes including water lock mufflers .
So aero plane composite framing is next on my list of seemingly impossible things to have a go at making !.
Anyone have any ideas how this can be done ??
