I used the house insulation material, Celotex. 4 thick, built a box. I made a
giant
box for the fuselage. Hold the pieces together with kebab sticks and tape.

an immediate impediment to post cure them, wish Id thought about that over
summer
because I could have just put them in the roof of my house which on a 40
degree day would have easily got to 50+ degrees Celsius, I think 50-55 degrees
is the goal, if my memory serves me correctly, and yes I will check. Making an
oven just for the tailplanes, does anyone have a suggestion of the best way
to do this? I have an idea to use structural flooring plywood to make up a box
and put a blow heater in there, plus thermometers and some way to swirl the air
around so there are no hotspots. Thats not going to be easy to temperature
control, so I was hoping builders might offer up ways I could do this, without
it becoming a pizza oven into the future, keeping it simple would be a nice
goal,
of mine.
