invert, ya gotta have dreams. Yes 65 or even more, probably much more reasonable goal but going to try. The substantially triangular fuselage gives me a shot at it. Sewn blanket is known and tested by NASA. Joining the layers by sewing. Lattice work of carbon filled with foam and outer and inner layer sewn together and infusion of resin and well above normal vacuum pressure to expel resin down to optimize matrix to resin ratio. The amount of resin normally required to fully wet cloth is often far more than required for max structural strength. The sewing apparatus I am planning may be patentable.
I am beginning to work with a company that does over braiding to produce what amounts to tubes of fiber in the structure but the core remains hollow.
Just saw 1/6 EA6B is there a thread for it or the others???
I would solicit any advise from been there and done that builders.
BTW, most reasonable to figure I will fail but that seems to drive me.
