We build a set of crude headstocks so we could wrap the prop pylons by spinning them. It was a ton easier this way rather than looping the spool around and around like we were forced to do on the chassis itself.

Here's Rick starting the windings.

100 layers of carbon tow on each pylon and a layer of 5.8oz glass later:


Before the wraps we did a torsion test and recorded the results. Once this cures I'll publish the pics showing the before and after tests. Hopefully we added a good bit of stiffness.
