I am designing an airplane very much akin to a single seat Falco and I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on minimum skin thickness to minimize hangar rash and airshow moron damage? I know that panel buckling criteria are a main driver of skin thickness (though I haven't gotten to the point of figuring out how to analyze that) but there must be a minimum thickness to prevent careless ground handling from doing damage to the skin.
