Default RE: Epic Journey

I think .060 is just too thin. I'd bump it up to .084 carbon (some places call it .090). With as much as you're hogging out, the weight gain should be minimal. I'm not aware of anything lighter than carbon plate for what you're making. G-10 would be significantly heavier and not as strong.

Jarvis, Marcelo hasn't told me the pricing of it yet. I know he's building a few for customers now, but I haven't heard any numbers yet. I would imagine he will update the site soon (when I send him pics and such) with the Epic. It will be available as kit, ARC and ARF.

Any Carbon guru's out there that can help me out please? I cut my firewall out of some CST carbon plate, .060, but it's not strong enough and am pretty sure it's flexing. Is there anything that doesn't weigh a ton, that can be used once cut like this, that won't flex much?
