Hello guys

Need your advise what mainly materials used for widebodykits?
Any advise on weight and strenght what to use?

Also for interior stuff also making molds
what can suggest i used 2 layer 450 but i do not liked, maybe 2x380 and in middle like some kind or core? Advise please. So that weight not a lot but good strenght and if i use my old method corners crack each time piece not so elastic.

Hi Tom,

I've moved your post from the new member introductions; I think this is a better place for it.

Are you talking about making a widebody kit in carbon fibre or in fibreglass? - And also what process are you thinking of using? - Hand-layup, vac bagged, infusion? The ideal layup will depend on the materials (i.e. carbon or glass) as well as the process. If you could elabourate a little then I'm sure that we'll be able to chip in with some advice.

Best regards, Matt
