Steve, There was a very lengthy discussion on using Kevlar a few years ago. One of the guys had a large amount he came upon free or nearly so and the final decision was that it was not worth the effort unless you were pretty sure you'd be taking small-arms-fire. Save the Kevlar for pulling over yourself when you get flamed on KRnet... Glassing the fuselage is not necessary, but if you do, I am pretty sure you'd want to use the very lightest glass you can as it is not necessary for strength, only to add smoothness, but it will add unecessary weight.

I've got some Kelvar that I don't know what to do with but not enough to do the job. Shoud I buy enough to complete the job or use glass? I haven't come up with a way to cut the stuff as yet. I've looked in the archives and only found one related message that didn't say much. My plans are old and don't say anything that I can find. Is this standard procedure ?
