So just like a Foam Sandwich hull then... There was a guy in Paignton built a Fireball by making his own foam cored panels and a chap on FB built a Merlin using a similar method.

Having not totally kicked the idea of self build into touch, I wondered what the issues might be instead of using ply, but using that methodology, I substituted carbon and carbon foam sheet, could it be a 'thing'?

What would my issues be?

Say for example I were to stretch a 3.7 plan out to 4.20

Using this sort of stuff for instance.?
