Covering with carbon veil may not be the way to go. I saw in another thread that, although it adds to the durability of the surfaces, the veil soaks up a lot of resin; thus, a lot of weight. Probably better to go back to glass; perhaps .75 oz with the closest weave I can find.
The CL Stunt guys are as weigh-conscious as the FF guys, and there's a lot of veil used in the planes I've seen built (Bob Hunt and buddies).
If it's adding weight from soaking up resin, I have to think that the technique needs to be improved.

Andy,
You wouldn't happen to know which weight of veil they're using?
Thank you,
Richard
