Regular cloth works very well for that purpose and costs 5 times less and
you only have to use one layer
I don/t think the canopy frame would provide enough area to mask to any
great significane any RF, if it were a wing panel or whole tail section then
I would assume that would be large enough to present problems. The materials
engineers at work tell me that the great advantage of cf is its light
weight, I always was of the opinion its primary advantage structurally was a
very good youngs modulus, ie its siffness, my theory being that two layers
of cf at half the weight of the regular stuff would give a stiffer canopy
frame than the usual glass. Just a thought though.
