I cannot find a good source for this anywhere. I have a Sonerai, metal frame covered in fabric. I enjoy working with carbon fiber and fiberglass and have been wondering if replacing fabric with CF skins would be acceptable? Mainly because I would like cleaner lines and no holes and less of the problems with fabric. I don't know if it would be lighter or not. I was thinking a layer of Kevlar sandwiched between two layers of CF. If you have any builds or articles similar to what I would like to do please post them.
