What improvements would you suggest making to stiffen up the fuselage so it doesent crack under strees. I just got a backup and was thinking of fiberglassing the back and sanding it down.
I have something I could suggest that you could perhaps try. Go over to Towerhobbies and find some carbon fibre rovings. They have it branded under Dave Brown products. If you don't have some of this stuff already Tower's price on it is ok and convenient to get a hold of. Otherwise you can definitely find it cheaper at composite shops and so on and they sell it in 6k and 12k strands. Get a hold of some 12k and pop me a pm. I'll explain to you how to apply it. Really easy to work with and a quick fix to stiffen up that fuz. A couple of beads of this stuff and it should become very strong. Trust me, we've stress tested the stuff extensively. Just gimme a pm when you get a hold of it so we don't take this thread off topic.
