Re: Lexan side panel thickness?

Lexan is a great material but it's heavy, really heavy. A few alternatives I've seen several teams use over the years is a Green House like, Corrugated Polycarbonate Material, lightweight with a bit more stiffness. Off the top of my head 173 and 1126 are 2 successful teams that have used the material extensively.
