interview met 'the Master'

Jan,

To Quote ower beloved friend another time :

DP: The simplest way to control weight is really the most obvious one: avoid or severely limit the use of materials known to be heavy. Fiberglass is okay for a cowling, but not a whole body. Use no light-ply; it is heavy and is no stronger than balsa. Limit the weight of the balsa you use. No piece should be over 8-lb./cu. ft. stock. Use no foam, it weighs a lot but has no strength. Use high-quality birch ply where you need strength, but cut it away where possible.

Oeps dat van die foam had ik beter weggelaten :roll: aangezien ik dat ook wel graag gebruik en andere mensen met mij. Nu ik denk dat het toch nog tijd spaart en "time is money - not weight" :wink:

Stevo
