  Well, I might be biased, but I starred in the EAA's composites video, had
 a local video production company hire me to create it and they did the
 video part, I did the composites part.  It was fun and sold for years but
 I think it is out of print now.  Might be able to make you a copy
for a modest
 fee (can I do that as the star?)   It covers the basics of
moldless composite
 aircraft construction (like Long EZ).

 As to the fans, I have no doubt that the FANS have very little
drag.  It is that
 the area of the outlet holes are much smaller than the area of the radiator.
 If you really start pushing a lot of air thru it they become the
 restriction, not
 the fans.  You need to shoot for zero restriction on the backside of the
 rad.
