While we still Georg’s workshop set up for building fuselages I got the opportunity to also build the fuselage for my Diana 2 (1:3). Andi again kindly spray painted the mould and Georg and I built the fuselage. Although the glider is bigger than the Elfe S3, the fuselage is much thinner and the work was thus about the same as making the S3 fuselage. Glass layup was: 1) 160gr; 2) 280gr (diagonally); 3) 280gr (normal) at the front and 160gr at the tail. We added 2x UD band under the cockpit and some reinforcements in the tail area. The fuselage came out nicely, although a few more airpockets than we got on the Elfe S3 (not uncommon when you know a mould less well).
