Default RE: New to using CF - Question

To Jetflyer,

This answers my questions about the structural reenforcement with minimal weight gain.

To Saramos,

I had been considering using CF tubes to run the push rods through and then CA the CF tubes to the boom structure/framing to stiffen them up before sheeting them. I figured this would be easier (and cheaper) than laminating CF tissue to the outside of the structure.


What would be the best material for laminating them to plywood to provide the strongest joints ? Different articles and messages state everything from thin CA up to and including epoxy for securing the CF. The CF strips/tissue would be used on the boom to wing connection and the CF tubes would be secured to the plywood boom structure to stiffen the booms.

Thanks
