I still need to make the canopy, spinner along with 4 blade prop. Then mount a tube from under at the COG for the pole to sit onto as this is going to be a yard ornamnent.

Have you tested the fiberglass resin with the foam you used? Sometimes it"eats/dissolves" the foam.

Use epoxy....does not eat the foam.

Actually what I used for the base coat, and then first coat of fiberglass is Minwax Polycrylic. Waterbased, clear finish, works great for foam and fiberglass. The last coat will be epoxy to seal and toughen things up.

Next one I will redesign the build, as this one is quite heavy compared to what it should be. Live and learn.

That is going to be quite an eye catching yard ornament!! You and Bill Parker, kings of the giants.
