Regarding Superfil:
I had similar concerns utilizing Superfil as a filler on certain portions of
the exterior.  I emailed Mark at Lancair with my concerns.  He replied:

"it is good for any of your surface bodywork.  The couple times I've used it
worked well.  I would recommend using the Micro for bonding ribs into place
and for radii under lay-ups.  Superfil would be fine for filling  the
exposed edges of pre-preg also"

I am using Superfil anywhere I can in an attempt to reduce weight.  Ask me
again in a few years and I hope I still happy with my decision to use it.

As far as weight reducing measures, there have been postings about Superfil,
carbon cloth Vs/ glass cloth, various nuts, washers, screws, etc.  Some very
interesting suggestions. Does anyone else out there have anymore ideas for
reducing weight?  This is a issue of concern to most builders I'm sure.
