I have a kitfox model 1 (850 lbs max gross and 100 mph Vne). I'm going to build new wingtips to replace the fairly heavy(3.5 LBS each) FG droop tips and I'll be building a new cowling as well. I'm not set up for vacuum bagging so it'll be wet layup.
I am looking for suggestions on what kind of cf fabric and how many plies to use for the wing tips and cowling. I have Rutan BID and UNI and if doing a wet layup is comparable in weight to FG then I'll just save some money and use what I've got. I think even a careful FG wet layup can save some weight over what I've got.
