I made my with 3/32 birch. I followed ?Mark Langford's design and mine is as stiff as a-well you know-.?I was going to cut my holes ?after I did my flight testing.?We've had some pretty intense discussions on holes or no holes. ?So I was going to do both and document the difference. Start with no holes and then add the holes. ?I personally believe the holders are more efficient. ?Maybe we get a few of us doing that so we can figure that out. ?Holes are no holes and finally put it to rest.

Carbon fiber is my new favorite building material. ?I want to use carbon fiber to build the belly board for my KR2. ?I used the material to extend my horizontal stabilizer and I love the way it worked out. So, do you believe that one eighth inch plywood sandwiched between carbon fiber would be strong enough for a belly board 32 by 9 inches?? -How many layers??-My belly board will have 2 inch holes. ?Do I cut the holes before or after I laminate with carbon fiber? ?(Yes, our long discussions have convinced me. ?Please don't think less of me If you believe I don't need holes)-what reinforcements could I use, keeping it thin and aerodynamic. You are all awesome! Thank you.
