Choosing the right Posterboard for Foam Wing Sheeting
 

Hi everybody,

I read some articles on the internet about people using posterboard to sheet foam wings. My problem is that there is no citation about the weight of this kind of paper and in my country there are many types of posterboard paper.

Two are easily found on the stores. One of them is colored in both sides. The other (heavier) has colour on only one of its faces (and is brown on the other side).

Is there anoyone using this material for sheeting? If possible, could someone say the dimensions and weight of a typical posterboard sheet used for sheeting wings?

Best Regards

Use the light stuff, and add some inset spars to the wing cores.
The poster board is good in tension, not so good in compression
so it needs some help from spars there.
