Just shoot me. I have to figure out how to make "plain text" the
default on this goofy web interface, if it's possible. See below...

Let me try that again...this time as "plain text" so it won't post a

Nice looking setup, but I need to ask. Are those wood spacers between the

I'm getting ready to order my carbon fiber,I know you used cf on your wings and

did you lay up, and what weight did you use? I think I'll just order it from

Carbon fiber is known for it's stiffness, but what you want in a gear leg is
just the opposite. I don't know of anybody that's using a carbon fiber gear
leg, and that alone is
From what I have been able to glean from various articles and
talking with several radio techs, the only around the problem is external

I am working up my horizontal and vertical stabilizers and was planning to

radio signals. Any way to avoid this? Other thoughts?
Netters,
Does anyone that is going to the Gathering have a 12 x 12 inch ³scrap²
of carbon fiber that you would be willing to part with? If so and you are
willing to bring it to Mt. Vernon, contact me off the net so we can make a

It is not that carbon fiber is lighter, it is that it is 5 times stronger than
the same single lay up of regular E-glass, so it would take 5 layers of E-glass
to equal one layer of carbon fiber. There is where you get either light
weight, when it requires strength, so you use carbon
