Hi
I have a YA F4, i was considering covering the wings with carbon fiber. My question is: What weight in cloth should i use to cover the wings?...is Carbon Fiber 5.7oz cloth too much or to little? If i was to go with just normal fiber glass cloth, what weight should i use?
Your thoughts would be appreciated
Thanks

5.7 oz cloth is too heavy. It will soak up too much resin. Most use .50 or .75 oz glass cloth for the wings. Up to 2 oz for large birds in high stress areas. use some of the carbon in the high stress areas and put .50 glass over the whole thing.
