Dubd,
I actually requested my aircraft be built with carbon fiber laminated plywood formers, spars, and all structure supporting the wings, tails, and gear, so step “0” will not be necessary.
I understand the correct use of honeycomb and ordered the aircraft that I want in a configuration that supports my comfort level. FEJ was very receptive to my personal choice and I understand that mine will be a bit heavier.
Here's the problem with that. The customer should not have to ask the manufacture to build the jet they just ordered correctly. Having to ask to have something built correctly infers it normally would be built incorrectly, which makes the manufacture untrustworthy, whether it's FEJ, Toyota, or any manufacture.
