Greetings, I am getting ready to place an order with you for the tools and supplies to build a mold of my upper aircraft engine cowling and would like some advice as to what CF cloth type, weight, number of ply's, filler, etc would likely give me give me a very light and strong part. This is a single wall cowling, there are no stiffening channels or reinforcements. The original is made from fiberglass and is approximate 3/16 of an inch thick.  Ideally I would like to end up with something significantly lighter and as strong or stronger than the original part. Can you suggest an appropriate CF cloth, thickness, weight, number of ply's and possibly a filler to sandwich between the CF ? If more information is needed for you to make a recommendation, let me know what you require.  Regards, Ed
