Beams

The major part of the beam fairing plug was planked up in WRC

Due to the complex shape & time restrictions, the out board ends were 3D milled foam

Then a female mould was made

The inside skin is going on the forward beam fairing

The outside skin of the forward beam aft face with bulkhead attached and the core waiting for the inside skin

Once the bulkheads are installed the fairing is released from the mould

The fwd beam has been moved to a retension cradle to be secondry bonded. Mean while the aft beam is being constructed

Bonding the fairing to the aft face of the back beam.

Unfortunately there is no easy way to do the critical secondry bonding on the fairing to the aft face

The first part of the cockpit sole is in place

The outboard cokpit soles are in place and the aft beam is standing plumb ready to receive the winch boxes. A REAL WORK OF ART!

As ready as it is going to be, the aft beam waits it's turn to be loaded for the trip to Sydney
