Re: SFS 31 Milan
Hi Chris and Peter,
I am very sorry that I will not make it to MW this weekend and even October is not sure either.
Family matters took me too long, and kept me from modeling and even flying...
This is changing now back to more free time.
That you will see in the next few weeks to come finishing the Milan and more...

Re: SFS 31 Milan
Hi,
the canopy mould was sanded down and ready to pull the real canopy for my Milan.
Together with two other canopies the work has been done this afternoon.
Some of you maybe ask how one does this. A friend was there to film the process.
Once the plug is in the machine the Vivak sheet is place onto the frame and secure by a counter frame. Vivak is the plastic sheet that I use. Works also with Pet but the temperature, if too hot, make the sheet milky, so not clear any more...How do I know...
Both sides have some sharp pins to hold the Vivak in place.
Also sealing rubbers are all around to be able to do the vacuum pulling.
I look down to check on the Vivak sheet for the hanging down, telling and showing me if the sheet is ready to go. I learned how much this has to be...
From that moment on all goes fast and a little waiting has to be done to let all cool down a bit before letting go of the table.
See the result...

A last time grinding will do the job before waxing all.
This is for later this week.
