Default RE: Chip Hyde's Cap-X - Building & Flying

Haven't done final weight and balance. Cabosil is a structural filler, unlike micro balloons. Instead of glass spheres, it is microscopic fiber glass strips that, when added to epoxy, form a matrix that prevents the epoxy from flaking and falling apart. Kind of like glass filled nylon.

I will say that the new firewall is about 3in farther back than the original.
