Default RE: Composite wings, any advantage ?

The lightest carbon cloth available weights 60 gr/sqm. and is too heavy for a wing sandwich application, where we already use the lightest glass cloth available (27 gr./sqm). The only thing that can be made is in the control of resin distribution.
Resin infusion is not suitable for a sandwich laminate (balsa or herex would be soaked by the resin).
