Hi All
A year or so ago I bought some plains for making plywood rotors for a gyro copter. Well it seems I caint find any plywood that suits my needs. Aircraft plywood only comes in 5'x5' and am unwilling to use that many scarf joint's.
So my question is, do you think it possable to lay up fiberglass or corbin fiber to make the rotors from? I would need 2 10'x 7.5"x 1\4" and 2 10'x 7"x 1\8" boards. The spare is also made up of plywood with a
1\8"x1" 10' steel flat bar in the middle of it. Would it be feasable to layup the spare in the fiber glass or corbin fiber with the steel in it. Or could I or should I leave out the steel? I have little to no experance working firer glass but am willing to learn.
Any suggestion?
Thanx Sonny
