In Response To: S&G: /SOF hybrid (Chris Amrhein)
That sounds like some nice material. I like the SOF idea. I've been toying with the idea of using composites for a SOF frame. If this stuff bends well then you could presumably laminate really strong ribs, etc. and make a high tech SOF (beware of traditionalists 
). Why not glue up some test samples: one or two 12" panels with glass on each side, laminate a few ribs and then see how hard it is to bend/break them. Use scarf joints to make it into some longer lengths...
You could also sell it off to the local RC club for a pretty penny.
