                  1,1kg before cutting. 945g after cutting. of course i have to glue one part to it, but i gues it still weighted under 1,1kg after its ready.
                  Not so superior surface, but i fucked with new (new brand to me) spray glue :stupid:Didn't read manual. F**k

                          Nice work! Love the vacuum molding for the cf and fiberglass (or was fiberglass just for the mold?)

                          I would love that engine

                            All parts are made from carbon.
                            Of course there are differend kind of cores inside.
                            I only use fiberglass for molds.

                            Now i'm start building owen for carbon.
                            I move from wet+vacuum / injection to prepreg carbon.

                            Then i can do much lighter parts.

                            Lightest bonnet was now 2,9kg.
                            With prepreg i think that can be aprox. 2kg. And still have enough stiffnes.

                            Door i calc that maybe weight also aprox 2kg.

                            Cant wait to get my owen ready.

                              If you are willing to do it, PLEASE post up some details of how you build your oven!!

                              Question, no vacuum is needed with prepreg while it is curing in the oven, is it?

                                You need vacuun also in oven.

                                I promised to post pics when i start building oven.
                                Now I'm lookin good controller for temp rising.

                                With prepreg you can use nomex honeycomp for core.
                                That is the key for ultimate lightness.
