Re: [RCSE] CF on spruce spars

[Richard Hallett]

The carbon is by far superior.  The carbon goes on the outside.  The 
further to the outside the better.  I believe the strength quadruples 
with a doubling of the thickness so the placing of the carbon makes 
quite a difference.  After putting on the carbon the spruce no longer is 
that important except to keep it straight etc.
