Thanks Serge, you understand me right.
That is, now I am waiting more opinion on this issue.
I do not know how much it cost some where, but for me here it is not expensive
(~4$ for 1kg), though I can't
find aircraft grade plywood at all. Again, I want to use it just for the spars,
so, the weight penalty
is not so important due of small quantity. But I guess it could be used for
boat as well.

Netters,
What I really like about the KRNet is the incredible amount of creativity
that we manage to pool together.
I think that PCB idea is a perfect example. Indeed, it is fiberglass, of the
best kind (multiple laminations). And I think it is the first time somebody
tries to use it as an aircraft material, but surely, it can't be worse than
our usual home-made, first-time builder fiberglass!
Now, if somebody with a good knowledge of material properties could study
typical PCB sheets to compare its properties with plywood and fiberglass, I
think it would not be wasted effort.
How much does PCB sheet cost, by the way?
