In my opinion, I would recommend glass as well. Whether this is E-glass or S-glass, it wouldn't matter to much I assume. The material properties...
The shear modulus of a balsa 100 kg/m3 is around 110 N/mm2. PET (Airex T92) will give you a shear modulus of 21 N/mm2.
Herman, Why go with a balsa core? In my opinion I would always ago for a non-wood, closed cell core when possible. If would look for a PVC or...
Thanks for your quick reply. We tried this before but the results weren't as we hoped. I'll try again and use several different options and...
