You'd be suprised how much strength that foam is giving you. It's a shear
member between the layers of carbon, same concept as building a spar
Hi Ron,
Great pics, and a very nice looking fuselage. Thanks for putting them on the

Does it use the same resin as glass fibre?
Does it re

Folks,
A quick check of the archives shows that this issue has been discussed
briefly before, but I wasn't a member then, so please excuse my question...
I'm just in the process of laying out the full size plans on the workbench,
and am wondering about the perspective that the plans were drawn from

affect the aerodynamics. Has anyone ever flown one of these "non banana
