Good or bad idea? instead of carbon fiber spar caps on a wood spar what about a normalised carbon steel flat bar 100,000 psi yield. clean sand and epoxy onto wood spar. maybe a layer of glass over top of steel to help with seperation?
more heavy than carbon fiber but lighter than wood alone spar. Also with steel easy to laminate 2 or more bars at hi load areas.
