RE: carbon fibre and antenna
I'm playing it safe. Since I was going to install kevlar fuel tanks on both sides of fuselage anyway I'll incoporate them into the structure and make them load bearing. Also since I'm new to composites I'll build a glass prototype to learn on and it should tell me where I really need extra strength. Finally I'll use the turbine itself as a structural member. This model V22 osprey is mainly center section loads. It supports the turbine gearox and pulleys to wing.
