I noticed the carbon tow formers placed in your fuselage for rigidity. Do they eventually print through the sides of your fiberglass fuselage after time?

Over a couple years maybe. It guess its not much different than other internal formers like a firewall or servo tray on edge against the fuse lamination. What helps is the CF tow bands dont see direct force applied to them & they are comprised of more alike materials to the fuse itself. Personally Ive found dark paint schemes + hot sun = accelerated print through of most composites over time, even the finer cloth weave.
