I'm thinking of convening one of our Akaflieg build sessions to work with pultrusions, maybe in August at our Montague CA workshop, for a three- or four-day session on the design and fabrication of pultrusion-based wing spars.

We'd probably do the usual rental cabin and have an engineering tech talk. The hands-on plan would be to fabricate and test a reference spar, and also make spars for CarbonMax or a 13.5m HP-27 or our tapered RV-8 wings. We'd ask for $75/day to cover facility fees, accommodations, and meals.

Is there anybody here who's motivated enough to travel to an event like that? Please PM me or email [email protected].
