Just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone contributing their videos!

It's been a great pleasure collecting all those goodies over the last 4 months.
They're over 120 videos in my play lists - that makes roughly a video a day.

So ... just keep them coming!

nice Mr. kinderkram
i sometimes find time to watch them again just to remind the beginnings.
They are very entertaining , educational and hm......... funny too.

Awesome! I want to design my playlists like this.

About "thermoformable" CFRP. I guess it´s a kind of "prepared" CF plate in a semi-cured state.

As you may know, all industrial CFRP uses "pre-preg" (pre-impregnated) CFRP (I work designing space structures in ASTRIUM-Spain).

A pre-preg is a laminate of CF+Resing (with already the right percentage) not yet cured, that has a "tacking" surface so you can form it (similar that Scotch Tape tacking) before curing process. It´s a very easy and clean method.

Normally you need autoclave for curing (pressure & temperature) but today there are new resins that dont need high curing temperatures, or even they can be cured with UV light at 20ºC. The fact of the pressure it´s a cuestion of compactation and air bubbles elimination, it´s always required for industrial application but It can be avoided for "home" process.

So, you can buy prepregs and DIY at home. I did it many times using a home made vacuum machine (for the vacuum bag) and hot applied with a electric blanket. (I confess that now I prefer to buy those chinesse CF plates on HK)

I would like to see a mission if possible: Takeoff, rise 1 m vertically, pause 30 seconds, Move to the left 1 m, pause 30 seconds, rise a further 1m, pause 30 seconds, move to the right 1m , pause 30 seconds and go back the same way to home. That type of mission should show how good a AQ6 is. If 1m is too small a distance then 2metres.
It would be good also to see it in gentle wind conditions.

I would still like to see this mission.
