I had a couple questions regarding the interior lamination schedule for the C17. By my copy of the plans, it seems to me that between all interior joints between the transom should have two layers of biaxial tape. Yet looking at WobblyLegs build, he mentions 3 layers. viewtopic.php?p=87689#p87689
Am I misunderstanding my plans, or was there a change in plans since then?WobblyLegs wrote: ↑Wed Sep 20, 2006 4:25 amI agree, but a while ago I asked about putting glass on the outside and the answer I got from Jacques was that the transom was considered part of the bottom, and suggested putting glass there, so Im wondering about treating the inside the same.Lucky_Louis wrote:I think we should stick to the scantlings spec'd by Jacques.
I have glassed the inside (inboard of the motorwells sides) for durability and extra strength for bolts going through it... or, at least thats the way I see it - no harm done, very little extra weight and glass really...
Ditto. Same specs.Lucky_Louis wrote:I'm not sure about the C17 but the OB17 was 3 layers of tape on the bottom-transom interior joint and 3 on the side-transom interior joints and two each side of the stringer-transom interior joint.
I was also wondering, under step 3, what was meant by "Around the motorwell bulkhead and main-cabin bulkhead."
Thanks all for your help!
