Re: strong composites for belly pan

For a few years we have run 1/16" thick garolite G-10/FR4. It's not too expensive on mcmaster, and pocketing isn't necessary. If you put it on properly (so it is spaced right and not oil canning), it is very strong.

It's also real easy to drill to mount electronics, and is nonconductive.

Oh, the glossy black also looks fantastic.
