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

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