Re: Boomerangs on How its Made

Pat,

I saw as it well...If I remember correctly, it's the 2nd showing, and
I think there were a couple of postings on BT about it when it first
aired with more info.

As David said, it was mostly on strip lam, with a very very brief
mention of aircraft ply, but no composite/or lap jointing etc.

One thing that was said that sorta surprised me, and that was that
hand tools are needed to be used to shape the airfoils on the strip
lams, while drum sanders etc. are used on aircraft ply.

You strip lam-ers...don't you guys use power sanders, or is it hand
tools like it said?
