I am eventually going to have to build a custom composite radiator/oil  
cooler pod ala P-51 and possibly a cowling if I cannot get aluminum to  
work around my RX-8 engine. I am looking for some good reference books  
on how to do this especially concerning making male molds - release  
agents - cloth to use - number of layers required - etc.??
My plane is wood/tube/fabric - thought I might as well use a little  
fiberglass too :))
My biggest concern is making them as light as possible but still  
having the needed strength and stiffness.
Thanks
