my fiberglass arrived the other day, and I began laying up the first piece. after laying in a layer of csm, I realized that the skin of the fairing can be one layer thick, so long as I put enough ribs in. this will reduce the weight of the fairing by almost half, so it will be worth the effort of making tooling, to get a smooth outer surface without having to sand as much.
