How thick is the G10?

Are you envisioning mounting electronics to the G10? I am curious about what, if any, stiffening supports would be needed with that thickness. I would be happy to hear from anyone who has experience with this.

I'm going off what AdamHerd said about bellypans; I haven't used it before.

Is there a story behind this?

Why? Did something shatter on him?

What are the advantages over G10 though? Is it lighter?

Checked the weight in SW, plywood is only 0.3lbs heavier than a garolite bellypan. And it's cheaper and easier to work with, so we may well end up going that route.
Would 7/32 or 3/16" work instead? The last bit of extra weight is killing me.

We used 5mm (~0.2") lauan plywood for Aerial Assault without any issues, so yes, if you insist.

That little bit of extra money though...

Can't argue with that. However, it's going to be tricky to convince the team that plywood makes for a good bellypan.
Usually our issue is with weight/design, not money.
