I would like to see it.Do you have a website? It sounds like you having alot of fun. How were you planning to mount or reinforce stub spars? How much glass on both sides did you end up doing? I hope you don't mind me asking, but it sounds like an awesome plane.

The canopy is a bubble above a roll bar yet to be built. The structureal skin is 3/8" last a foam with glass on both sides. The foam was cut into strips like a cedar strip canoe, and glued together to form a free flowing curved form. The form was sanded and microslurried to fill all voids. Then glassed. The result is stiff, strong and hopefully aerodynamic. I have not yet attatched the canopy or made the turtle deck. I will send pics if you are interested. Substitute balsa for foam strips and you are in buis...... Probably easier to wark with. Regards, Bob Polgreen
