    Briiliant Alex, thanks for sharing. I like the details you've included. The headcam is great IMHO, the audio is spot-on. Your apprentice is switched-on too. That perforator tool is something I reckon I'll use. I'm building a 6M ASH 31.

    Awesome how-to video 👍 As a fellow kiwi I'm wondering where you buy the high density foam from for the cores? I can only find beaded polystyrene in the hardware/building stores. Cheers

    Hi Alex. I am making a wing in two halves like this with a shear web spar caps. How should I join the wings? Is it worth the trouble of finding a way to make the spar go across both?

    Which resin did you use, and were the cores cut using a cnc hot wire cutter?

    I used ADR 246TG resin and ADH28 hardener. Yep, cores were cut on a CNC hotwire.

    Alex you gotta switch to a 50hz based frame rate to prevent flicker on your headcam.

    Did that, changed the frame rate settings, tried an ND filter and some other setting recommended on the net. No change unfortunately

    It’s called rolling shutter. Can be dealt with in post if the camera isn’t smart enough to sync. Otherwise nice vid! Thank you.
