Powerslave's bat wings

(1/4) > >>

Tallon:
The side looks nice so far! Good idea.

powerslave:
Here's a pic underneath the wing showing the framework and caravan motor I used for actuating the wing.  I had to remove some of the inner section of the body to get the wing to go all the way down into the body.

Then I created a basic mold of the wing side so that I could remove the mold, remove the foam, then create the actual side using the mold I created.

powerslave:
then I used some modelling foam and started construction on the shape of my bat wing sides.  I used spray adhesive to laminate a few layers together and then let it dry and shaped them afterward.

powerslave:
Here's a few more pics of my bat wing progress.  This is how I contructed my metal framework underneath the wing.  I started laying out pieces on the outside of the wing to get the contour correct, then tacked them together and fit it underneath the wing.  I used 2 part epoxy to bond the framework to the underside of the wing.
