I have an Axis Citation 4 stages with 3M Accuspray 10 GP PPS spray gun.Very good stuff,but 3M doesn't support anymore that spray gun...So no parts or a few available. I am looking for a new good spray gun. It seems that the Fuji 5075G T75G is pretty good,and i can use the 3M PPS system i have on...- PittsS1S

How to bevel Nomex Honeycomb
BJC,you are right,the Wolf and Saw blade wings have a very good roll rate.When i say " seem to reach the limit of that type of construction" it's why modern monoplanes have a faster roll rate.May be it is because wood doesn't allow that carbon does ...may be i am wrong !!! About the 3 to 4 mms...- PittsS1S

How to bevel Nomex Honeycomb
Billski Yes,the structural engineer told me that the wings as they are build ( typical Pitts construction) are too flexible to handle such big ailerons, they will twist (his solution a carbon biax skin) and the spars will be not too far from their maximun strength (his solution some carbon...- PittsS1S

Billski Thank you for those precious advices and to share your knowledge. That project was born from goal to get a roll rate better than 360°/sec,that is very hard get with a normal Pitts wings design .So i did my own design .Less area toward the tips,more above and near the fuselage .1/2"...- PittsS1S

The Wolf wings should have a good roll rate ,at least 270° per sec .I am going to ask Yes,their internal structure is not very different from standard Pitts wings. 1" more on ailerons chord with longer span , carbon boxed wings tips- PittsS1S

Less ribs ;only butts , at...- PittsS1S

First,i will infuse the outer carbon layers ,one spreadtow of 80 grs and one biax + - 45 ° of 200 grs. Second,put some resin one a flat surface and soak one side of the honeycomb in that resin, then install the honeycomb to the outer skin and vacuum .Third ,soak the inner layer,one biax +- 45°...- PittsS1S
