KRnetHeads,
We hear a lot about "dynel" in the old newsletters, and some of us are
flying airplanes covered with the stuff. I bought a set of KR1 plans
several years ago and included in the info pack was a sample of dynel.
I thought it might be educational to see the difference between dynel
and the currently often-used 5.85 ounce 7533 fiberglass material. See
http://www.n56ml.com/n891jf/dynel.jpg for side-by-side comparison.
Fiberglass is on the left, dynel on the right. Dynel strikes me as a
very lightweight burlap. I would imagine that filling this stuff would
be a major pain with some big pinholes, but the end result would likely
be a lighter layup.
