Hi Guys,
Just wandering, I play kayak Polo, and we use Kevlar boats, soo I have shed loads of kavlar Carbon Fibre of varing grades and epoxy resin used for fixing them when they get a bit worse for ware.
Now, I was think of using some of the finer stuff to strengthern the tail booms on my boost gliders. But, would the weight (of the epoxy and cloth) out weigh its usufulness? Or would it simly change the weakest spot on the taiol boom to another place? ie the weakspot is where the fin meets teh boom, kevlar here would strengthern it right?!But, the weakspot would now be where the kevlar joins teh unstrengthern boom?Catch my drift?
