A brand new piece of sandpaper can take down CF pretty quickly. Use belt sanding disks cut to fit your sanding block.

Thanks Bonewar, now I just gotta figure out how to make those orange motor mounts not look so ugly(maybe polish them and paint the fiber glass sides of them black or something).
But it was my first time working with CF, unfortunatley I didnt lay it up perfectly but its pretty good other then the CF not making it all the way to the back. I saw alot of your CF work on one of your threads, what do you use to cut the plates with? All I have is a Dremmel

Obrien,

Mate when i make the carbon plate i make it around 1.5mm thick for the bulkheads.
This thickness allows me to use very sharp titanium scissors to cut it out.
Makes it easy to cut curved shapes smooth.
The rest i use the dremel and a very good set of small files, (sand paper).

How about a band saw and a respirator? that's what I use.

I got some more work done on this thing, let me know what you guys think.

[obrien008]

thats a lot of shrink wrap. you know ben is going to use it all

Pshh i know I got 5 meters of both red and black in 6mm and 3mm so 20 meters total for 6$ on HK, but ya he will definatly find a way to either use it all or accidentally heat the entire bundle at once....

Got the carbon fiber yesterday, heres a pic of the layup.

Im also working on a plate that will brace the motor mount and support the servo

[blackcat26]

I was gonna suggest just below the bottom pick up....Good call tho, it's esier to sneak up on it than to put back on......Lookin good bro.

[bea5017]

looks good mane.

[obrien008]

Thanks for checking it out Peter

That baby looks very promising bro, can't wait to see her in action! Are you gonna trim some of the rudder length? Looks just a shade long to me.

Ya Blackcat im gonna cut the rudder down, probably almost up to the water pickups. Ill prob start half way up to them and go shorter from there depending on how its running.
