Sounds like more weight, and more work, for very little benefit. CF layups would be plenty strong. I built my elevator with CF, and it can chop wood. Ron Smith KR2SSXL Buckeye Arizona mercedesm...@yahoo.com http://ronsmith.myphotoalbum.com/albums.php --- On Fri, 10/17/08, Martek Mississippi

Personally, I feel nitrating is additional insurance and I would not fly without having a nitrided crank even with the fifth bearing. Why take the chance? It does not cost that much to have it done. Mark Jones (N886MJ) Stevens Point, WI Web page: www.flykr2s.com e-mail: flyk...@charter.net

Thanks all That tells me some info I needed. I do have damage to the wings and cowling that need repair, but it sounds like I can do the repairs and get her flying again using the standard techniques. Afterwards, using my idea, I will try some tests on small prototype

So the outer skin would only contact 50% of the wing area? Wouldn't there be a bunch of 3/4" squares on the surface that have no support and be prone to damage? Maybe fill the voids with micro and sand smooth but that would be heavy I'd think...I'm an armchair pilot still so I don't really know.
