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
