Just hoping to get any opinions on improving this KR style of glass only on one side of foam construction method. Not being either a sandwich or solid core, it's giving up a tremendous amount of strength and stiffness as per the smartest member on this forum and a few others. I get it that the KR doesn't need it but what if you have a design that does.

I was thinking of filling it all up with pour foam and that would be so easy and make it solid, a-la Rutan, or just shape and glass the inside like Mark Langford did before gluing in the foam panels, a sandwich core.

Pros and cons anyone?
