Hi Art.If you are looking to build his carbon LPP, here are a couple of pointers.It doesn't hurt to degrease with acetone before using thin CA.Ambroid grabs better to CA than carbon alone. Once ribs are glued to the carbon, a few strands of kevlar can anchor them very well - Duco/Ambroid will work great.The tips I would wrap with kevlar before gluing (wherever the carbon rods crisscross).Where the tips meet the spars, I would glue little carbon L shapes to help keep them in place.(I can post you some 1K carbon tow if you'd like so you can make them.)Carbon tube wing posts. 0.026" (IIRC) will work out well.The film will attach to carbon with rubber cement or 3m77. Choose your poison.Regards.Mike Kirda
