RE: Yellow Aircraft F/A-18C Twin (Two Engines) KIT Full Build BUILDER'S Thread
Here's what i've got done on my forward former so far. Its surrounded w/ 2 layers of 1/8" Carbon fiber. I captured the top part of the reciever w/ 2 legs of the CF piece on the rear of the former, I plan on capturing the rest of it w/ 1/4" 10 ply birch and routing out to go over the carbon fiber "fingers" this way the carbon fiber acts sort of like a lock for the plywood so it wont rotate any. I also put 4 4-40 bolts and blind nuts thru all the layers to hold it all together. The setup so far is much stronger feeling than the original and doesn't flex as much. It also only add'd about 3-6 oz to the overall weight i believe of the bulkhead (i haven't weighed it yet)
