Hi all,
Here is a small project I have been working on for a while. I wanted to build a plenum for my 0-360 powered RV6 that would fit the standard Vans baffles and early cowl.
So far I have completed the pattern, mold and the prototype you can see here. I am using this prototype to finalize the shape and trimlines on the mold. Once this is done I will build the flying version.

I haven't decided on the lay-up yet but will likely go with three or four layers of 300gm glass twill cloth and fire retardant vinylester resin.
Anyone see any potential problems with this set-up?
