Dave Yes I have used it throughout the wings and tail. I know its not called for in the plans. I took this project over from a friend who had already planned to use the blue. He is a glider man and they use it a lot. I have also been looking at the construction of the Europa which also uses it very sucessfully. The only drawbacks I can see are its incompatability with fuel and its harder to work. The plus is its very strong. The seat is supported on 4 ribs which go down to the floor, and a spruce cross member. I also intend to make some ribs to make it more rigid with extra layers of BID where it rests on the main ribs. I didn't use carbon fibre because my budget could not stretch to it.

Did you use styrofoam any place else in your plane ? Its not called for in the plans. Also, do you think 1 layer of BID on either side will support 1,500 pounds ? Several guys has posted nice seats made with carbon fiber, -dave > <>...I have also been making the seat, with blue styrofoam and a layer > of bid > both sides... > > > > >_______________________________________ >Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp >to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net >please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html > > _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
