I wasn't serious about the black list stuff, it just seems silly to me that all of you are all at work glassing etc and no one can tell me if I should use 5oz or 100oz glass. And as it's no use asking the local fibreglass shop because he's running scared by liability where aircraft are involved, yes this list is our only hope. Remember some of us don't know Jack SH--T about fibreglass.

Gavin, You are right, this is your only hope. I looked for the answer to your question in AS and Wickes. I found an Email address of pi...@beegroup.com and my request to them was returned, address not known. There ain't no black list, we are all just busy building our planes and you have asked a question for which we may not have a definitive answer. Be thankful, when I built my first, I was all alone and had no KR Net. I am building now and can't tell you what glass to use. I have tried two kinds and cannot remember what they are, but it seems that the best one, although, maybe a little heavy, is the one sold for the Long EZ. If I remember correctly, it is 5.5 oz bid glass. I was going to look in my plans for you, but it is not in yours, I guess it won't be in mine either. It also is difficult to estimate the amount of glass you would use and what kind to use and how much resin to use, because there are so many variables. What if you bought all pre-molded parts and were using wing skins, how much and what kind would you need. People use all different kinds of resin, we are using AeroPoxy, but will probably switch to West Systems for the cowling mold, but if I bought a cowling that would fit, I would not need any of that stuff. Also, you will want to only but what you will need in the next 6 months or so, because you want your resin to always be fresh. Netters, how about some suggestions for glass type and weight and what resin you like? Maybe some pros and cons to go along with it. N64KR Daniel R.
