Larry,
I looked at the Wicks and Aircraft Spruce online catalogs. They carry
the H but not the HT series. The specs do seem close enough between the
HT50 and H60 series to make the H60 series another one to use, since it is
available easily, would you agree?
DIAB products also recommends the sandwich concept for marked
improvements in rigidity, as their numbers attest to. Everyone should look
at their web site and specifications.

Glenn, Wicks and Aircraft Spruce usually carry these foams. The company that
makes or distributes it used to be in Grand Prairie, Texas. The original
Klegicell foam which is the same thing or type of foam came from Europe,
Sweden I think it was. One thing you can do with these types of foam is heat
it up (like with a heat gun, keep gun moving though or you will begin to
melt the foam) bow or bend it around something and let it cool off while
holding it in position and it will retain a lot of the shape you desire. If
needed get someone to help with the heating while you hold it in the bowed
position. I am talking about your turtle back for example or the slight
curve to a wing surface. You will be able to make the wing surfaces without
heat though, the foam will make that curve easy enough. (Not the leading
edges though) You can make your wings the way others have done it including
the premolded Diehl skins. Make your ribs out of this same foam, just make
them dimensionally less than the thickness of the foam you choose, put a
light weight layer of cloth on the inside if you wish but probably not
necessary, glue in place with micro or flox mixture then cover the surface
with your cloth of choice, fiberglass, carbon fibre, or ? (dynel) : ) .

Thank you! This sounds like what I'm looking for to deal with my concerns.
Where can I purchase this?
