Where can I purchase this?

Glenn, I am with Mark L, lots of time and weight. Sounds like you need to find
some honeycomb cores for your wings if you want to go to this much trouble. The
honeycomb would accomplish both things for you. The best preference for you
Sounds like more weight, and more work, for very little benefit. CF layups
would be plenty strong. I built my elevator with CF, and it can chop wood.

Personally, I feel nitrating is additional insurance and I would not fly
without having a nitrided crank even with the fifth bearing. Why take the
chance? It does not cost that much to have it done.

having.

Mark,
What sounds good? Third weekend in September again?
Larry
Thanks all
That tells me some info I needed.
I do have damage to the wings and cowling that need repair, but it
sounds like I can do the repairs and get her flying again using the
standard techniques. Afterwards, using my idea, I will try some tests on
small prototype Glass-Foam-

Have our prayers all been answered with the fifth bearing? I sure hope so but
only time will tell.

So the outer skin would only contact 50% of the wing area? Wouldn't there be
a bunch of 3/4" squares on the surface that have no support and be prone to
damage? Maybe fill the voids with micro and sand smooth but that would be
heavy I'd think...I'm an armchair pilot still so I don't really know.

I have noticed on the KR2 I just purchased that the wings are not as
stout as I would like. When I moved the wings to the storage area I could
hear the foam under the fiberglass cracking with moderate handling, which I
don't care for at all.
