 Ken, It is interesting to note that the construction of a Rutan style
 male-molded fuselage is made exactly the way that crash
 helmets are made. The outer layer of fiberglas with a foam filler.
 The ez has a inner shell as well but not nearly so heavy as

 > the outside. Seems to do the impact absorbsion pretty well. Bill Jepson

   That is the way I built my coot also as the hull has to pound on
waves and a log now and then.
  Made from 3 layers of glass, 1/4 inch foam, 2 layers of glass and
1one layer of  kevlar.
