That's called a stress riser. That's not a material problem, that's a
design problem.the same problem happens with like materials, or even the
same piece of material.

I have been reading Jeff Scott's Web page, thank you for that, by the way. ?
How much bigger do I need to make the horizontal stabilizer and rudder? ?

Rather than extending the spars outward, could I extend the elevator to the

You are talking instrument panels here, generally a non structural
component so it's not a big deal. Ho
Well, maybe one. Congratulations Terry Chizek!

I find Carbon fiber to be easier to work with than fiberglass. Yes, you can
combine them. There's not much need for CF in a KR, but I used some simply
because I wanted to develop my skills with it. (we do build these for
