Wondering if anyone has finished an Artic Hawk from CLC??

I have been working on it for a long time. I finally decided to give up on the duct tape and drill holes and stitch it up. That is almost done.
Now I wonder if someone would comment on some of the actual design features.

Designer calls for a strip about 2 inches wided to be laid in the inside of the hull for strength. He then tells me to fill the area with thickened resin. Seems like that adds a lot of weight for what ever strenth it adds, it also seems that his idea of fillets tends toward the larger the better.

Am I off the mark that some glass would be stronger and lighter than a large fillet?

Just over thinking it again---which is why it still isn't finished.

first build by the way and the instructions for this kit are nearly 400 pages in length, lots of pictures, like 4 to 5 per page. Hope I can get into the cockpit.
