I am building a large UAV and would like help in how to laminate the body. I have read that the orientation is important for the strength. 
I want to build in Carbon but what do I use?, How many Layers?, what weight of carbon?, do I use uni, weave or a mix of different types.
Are their any good books or articles I can get ( not with too much tech talk).

I agree with your last sentence.
I have a copy of moldless composite construction by Rutan which I found helpful but it leaves a lot of questions unanswered.
Do you know anyone who can help me work out the maths of my proposed UVA. My maths is not that great.
many thank for your help so far.
