KR> wicks KR 7533 cloth
Hi netters, I was curious if Wicks KR 7533 cloth is strong enough for a composite fuselage shell? Im using foam and glass or carbon fiber for my covering. Well this suffice or should I use something else? David Swanson bdazzca...@aol.com

Well >this suffice or should I use something else? That is exactly like asking if the ice is thick enough to drive your car on. You need to know lots of things before that question can be asked.

I'm using wicks 3733 boat cloth for everything and then deck cloth on top of it..

This structure is what holds your engine to the plane and handles the torsional stresses of the engine and tail section and no doubt a whole lot of other critical functions that I, and probably you, have no clue about. I know that there is no way that I would bet everything that my "guess" was right, no matter what kind of cloth was used. I find it hard to believe that the properties of glass and wood are similar enough that they can just be "swapped" out without some serious engineering and testing. If you plan to do that engineering and testing, then you need to choose the cloth to do it with. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you in Mt.

I think it'll be OK (TLAR) as long as he uses plenty of it. Yet another "designer" with basic questions.
