jeffyjeep,

I bought two of these kits, but haven't started one yet. I'm thinking of doing built-ups after seeing your progress. I like the simplicity of using dowel for the spar across the middle of the fin.

You mention using .015" thickness card stock. I have some 65 lb. card stock, but that measures .008". Looks like your card stock must be around 110 lb. or heavier, maybe? Does it seem about right, in other words, would you go with lighter or heavier card stock based on how your card stock seems to be working out?
