Wing Covering Material Weight?
 

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 :D

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.
