Re: How are bellypans made?
Most people use waterjetted aluminum, which is then sometimes powder coated. I think it is probably 3/16 or 1/8 aluminum.
My team, on the other hand, is using black carbon fiber honeycomb (1/4" cell width). it comes sandwiched between two other peices of carbon fiber. it is very strong, light, and you can mount electronics right to it because it isnt conductive. be careful though, you must use VERY big washers when mounting to it so you dont pull the bolt right through it.
