I think that sounds like a good plan. You can always add another layer if
it's not stiff enough, but I bet it will be fine.

Resending in case it didn't make it to the list the first time. I'm about
to order the stuff to finish this thing off. Thanks.

Can anybody give me an idea of how many layers of 5.8oz S-Glass I'll need
for the nose cowl? I was thinking something like 1 layer at 45 degrees,
then another layer 90 degrees to the first layer, then another layer
aligned
with the airplane's longitudinal axis as someone suggested. But it seems
like that wouldn't be very thick. I wonder if I should repeat the layers
until I have a total of 6 layers or if that is overkill. S-glass is 30%
stronger and 15% stiffer than hardware store E-glass and so fewer plies
should be required.
