During winter - when we have more time to building and brainstorming - I ordered the tail wheel fairing from Vans. Despite the part is "bang for the buck" I decided to build a new one with a little more symmetrical look.
Here's the original Vans part :
I decided to use a cheep software to draw a set of 'ribs' to have a solid form.
A friend of mine has a computer cutting pantograph and this helped a lot.
This is the part assembled, in the back the original one.
At that time I'm working with foam to close the opening, I'll use some microballs and epoxy resin to obtain a new molding master.
Never worked with the molds, it will be a new experience. Stay tuned.
Logic ? Rational ? Absolutely not
