  &quot;The Solar Plane V5.&quot;<br>Me: &quot;Hey, that looks really familiar-&quot;<br><b>Project Air crashing in the background</b><br>&quot;-just convergent evolution, I guess.&quot;

  I&apos;ve never CNCed anything, never fiberglassed anything, never used a hydrofoil, never fabbed with foam/carbon fiber, and I&apos;ve ever heard of this channel. I also watched this whole video like it was giving me the next lottery numbers.

  How much epoxy did you use?<br>- Yes

  I know I’m repeating myself, but Daniel, please, please try cutting the fiberglass or carbon fabric at a 45-degree angle instead of along the fibers. This advice comes from someone who has worked in a composite sport boats factory for years. You’ll be amazed at how much easier it is to work with and how much stronger your parts will be. If you cut the fabric on a diagonal, like at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvZR1yca6KM&amp;t=445">7:25</a> here, you wouldn’t need to trim it on the tip of your part, and the entire wing would be more resistant to twisting. The fabric will also adhere to the surface more smoothly. This technique has no drawbacks, only advantages.<br>Other then that - Great Project! Thank you so much for inspiration!

  For your fiberglass work: wet the foam with epoxy first, then lay the weave on top, way easier to get the fabric soaked through.

  These hydrofoil adventures are so fun to watch

  I love how you&apos;re constantly pushing the envelope of RC aircraft, and now hydrofoil board systems! I also love how you use your 3D printing, composites, and CNC machining tools, materials, engineering design, and manufacturing skills to make it happen!<br>As a fellow tinkerer, thank you for sharing your design, build, and test projects with us, which helps expand our world!
