: Excellent! that is something I am looking for. Now, on to my other question.
: (and I do thank you for the response) I want a little more room in the
: cockpit area. Is it possible to modify the deck without weakening the
: strength of it? I imagine I could add bracing between bulkhead to
: compensate for the absence of some of the deck area. Again, thank you.

With the ply deck, looks like it would be fairly easy to make the cockpit longer, not as easy making it wider. With the hybrid deck you can pretty much make it whatever shape you want.
