Experiences with vendors by Bug Dout
Van's Air Force (VAF) is probably the largest homebuilding site on the Web. But it's devoted to Vans Aircraft homebuilts (the RV series). Worse--for the purpose of this post--it actively deletes negative posts about vendors. So you get all the praises of good vendors, but negative comments are...

Group Activity by Wayne Paul
I have been off this group for over a year. Previously this was a very active group; however, there has been very few messages since I returned. It may be due to my service provider, or maybe with the passing of a few key members the overall activity has significantly diminished. The main...

Fiber alignment and twist. by [email protected]
Howdy, If I have a long recatangular box like a spar, and want to reduce twisting in the long axis, is it better to lay out the fiberglass mat with the fibers aligned at a 45 to the length, or parallel to the length? For the sake of argument, presume that all I'm concerned about is twist.
