I have been working on a design and I am trying to find a good construction method to use. The plane I am designing is go to be a pretty fast design with a lot of power . It is going to be a 2 place side by side with a 502 big block chevy or 0-540 I haven't decided . I want it to be pretty curving the best way to describe it would be sort of a Cory Bird Symmetry and Nemesis Nxt .I think I would build the wing soild foam hot wired.But I am trying find info on figuring how many piles to use and stuff like I have some books on composite construction like Composite Construction by Jack Lambie ,Advanced Composite Techniques by Zeke Smith ,and Composite Airframe Structures by Michael C.Y.Niu .I think I want to carbon fiber to make it as strong and little as possible.Any ideas and opinions would greatly appericated .Thanks Brandon
