Re: Need help, Titanium / Carbon Fiber / Aluminum

If you want flex, carbon fiber doesn't flex much, if at all, once it has the resin in it. It's pretty light and strong, but again, you need the resin. You may also need special equipment to work with it.

My experience: one attempt on 330, and now the Aero Design team I'm on is using it all the time (fuselage, special ribs, etc.)
