Salutti tutti again,
I'm not far off being ready to close a set of
flaps, ailerons and for the wings I will use the slow (2 hour) EA9339 Hysol
from Watkins and Associates www.watkins-associates.com To
properly electrically connect and protect the bond line between the top and
bottom wing skins from the effects of lightning strikes I am thinking to make
the Hysol conductive with the addition of silver powder/flake 99.99% pure which
is specifically designed for inclusion in epoxy to make it conductive.
My thinking is that when the wing leading edge
joggle is sanded back to carbon fibre and the silver is embedded inbetween the
top and bottom skins in the joggle the carbon fibres of the top and bottom
wing skins are connected, along the full length of the leading edge
joggle.
Can anybody knowledgable person think of any good
reason to not include this silver powder/flake in the hysol?
Ciao,
Robert d'Italia.
