Question here for the one with experience.
I'm making wood rotor blades based on Jerry Barnett plans to test if they can work on my light gyroplane, the plans call for fiberglass the blades with 8 oz cloth, since the end of the airfoil has sharp edge, I would like to know how to finish the trailing edge, so the blades are completely covered, the airfoil is similar to Naca 8-h-12 and has 7" cord.
If someone can point me in right direction it would be appreciate it.
I never did fiberglass work, so I have no idea where to start, do the bottom first than the top or both surfaces at same time etc., my main concern is the trailing edge.
Thank you and happy new year
