Aaron Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I was looking through Johns site a few days ago and found some info on making fiberglass tubes using PVC, sandblasting sand, an innertube and a live chicken... At least I think it was a live chicken... I can't find it now, anyone have any info/details on this method? Does it work well for tubes curved in 3 dimensions? BTW, John, sounds like you had an exciting weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjgundry Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Try here: http://www.kgarden.com/cozy/chap27.htm A little better than halfway down the page, where he talks about the fly-in at Shady Bend. Is that it? I too would like to see more of this technique. Cheers Quote http://www.faa-engineers.com/~mjgundry/cozy/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Slade Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Live Chicken??? How do you fiberglass a live chicken? Wouldn't that be cruel? By the way, I haven't tried the inner tube technique, but the perfect fiberglass pipe Richard handed around was the shape of DNA Quote I can be reached on the "other" forum http://canardaviationforum.dmt.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry it's an inside/voodoo/tech support joke. I work in tech support for software, once I overheard a colleage say to a customer: "OK, you're going to need a live chicken. Cut off it's head and spray your computer case and keyboard liberally with it's blood. The keyboard is the key-demons spirits sometimes stick underneath the 'W' key. When that is done, reboot the computer and it will be fine." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Slade Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 OK, totally off subject, but since we're talking tech support, let me tell you about the teacher (a family friend) who bought a new Apple II. Seems she got the last one off the production line and she couldn't find software to run on it, because no-one was designing for the Apple II any more. She called Apple and explained her problem. The answer she got [i swear] "you're a teacher. Think of this as a learning experience".
