hi Dr,
Good project, I am sure there will be more than few takers if you offer the FG fuse. Some photos of the plug and any completed fuse will bring in more viewers .

Nice thing you are doing. All my best wishes with you !

What's the point? More interior room?

Comment by Dr. Stewart Pid on February 7, 2010 at 10:27pm

Yes more interior room, reduce the exterior drag of components and better crash resistance.
Damn near every picture of "experienced" easy stars are covered with tape.

Tape = poor man's fiberglass!

I love the give, mod-ability and repairability of Elapor. I wouldn't switch to fiberglass.

I dispute the "better crash resistance" theory... my EZs have taken some impressive wild bounces and bumps, which I know a glass model wouldn't have survived.

More space is good excuse for FG and probably sleeker look too. A single wheel undercarriage won't hurt.

Sprayed the plug with mold release today, Next step...glassing. Sorry lost the download plug on my camera or I'd have pictures. Single wheel is a good idea, thanks for the suggestion.

After I pile drive'd my EZ into the ground I've started using a folded foam core nose. Dirt cheap and plenty of room inside. I was amazed how little affect it had on the aerodynamics.
