Well I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but if you plan on
using the base airframe of a certified plane already , instead of building
your framework from skratch, which is how I read your post.... You will need
to get approval from the FAA . As a general rule on a certified aircraft
only certified parts may be used. Now if you build the entire plane from the
ground up as an experimental like the man said "HAVE A BALL!"

Hello, everyone a friend of mine own's Fiberglass and Carbon Fiber

molding
business (He makes hoods, doors, fenders & tubs for cars). I was

wondering
if anyone has ever used a Cessna 150, 172 or 182 fuselage as a template

for
the making of a Carbon Fiber fuselage?


Well, yeah, you could use it as a plug but who would want to?

I have few questions! Since it will not be a kit what kind of info would
have to be provided to the FAA to be able to get such a thing approved

for
a
homebuilt experimental aircraft project?


Thanks In Advance


Have at it. No approval necessary except when you apply for your

homebuilt
c of a. It's not like you're getting it certified. Make sure you use a
good set of 150 (or 172) l. g. including nosewheel strut because that

stuff
is damn strong.
