Hi there,

Generally when I build a kit, I reinforce the landing gear area, firewall, wing holding blocks, etc. with triangle stock and an adequate amount of epoxy. Right now I am assembling a GP Big Stik 60 ARF and some of the areas - namely the wing holding area - need some reinforcement, but there is very little room to put triangle stocks in there. My other thought was to use fiberglass cloth & finishing resin for reinforcement, this way I could do a better job covering a larger area.

With that backdrop, here's my question: will glassing yield the same end results as, say in this case, adding triangle blocks in terms of reinforcment? If so great; if not, when do you use glassing as a reinforcement in the structure (other than joining wing halves?)
