Our
Europa Building
Workshop

(click on the pictures to see more detail)


Our workshop is warm: around 25 degrees Celsius
And dry: around 55 perc. humidity
This is said to be best for working with composite materials.

Europa workshop picture 2 As you can see we use movable workbenches. We can put several of them together to form one big workbench or use them seperatly for making smaller pieces.

We can put them in the middle of our workshop and walk around them or move them asside when we're working on something else. Quite handy.

You do not need a lot of tools to build the Europa, but you do need a lot of good quality scissors.




Europa workshop picture 5 We use a small electrical scale to mix resin and hardener.



Europa workshop picture 6 Our 'oven' to post cure the flying surfaces is made of foam blocks placed around a central heating unit. A little electric fan is used to get a uniform temperature of 40 - 50 degrees Celsius.
