Hi Sven
Thank you again for your posting on PB.  How about some details on the beam construction. I presume that it is waffle structure with reinforced carbon (as Russ did in Australia) covered with glass/epoxy? 
Any comments on Dudley Dix’s cold molding system? Are you familiar with it? Is very fast, simple and sounds very strong and idially adapted to high L/B ratios.
cheers

My beams are made of interleaving stripplanking around a ply initial box, covered in e-glass, no carbon.
Beams might be in a later article in the construction topic, as I said I have to finish the earlier topics first, before I start anything new, otherwise it will be a mess.

About that Dudley Dix Method , I think you mean this?

I will read that and let it sink in a bit, to compair the systems,  thanks for mentioning it.

Cheers Sven
