Which would provide the most strength on a leading edge....glass cloth applied with resin or Carbon fiber veil applied with dope?

Thanks

If you are talking about the leading edges of Eric's kits,  I see nothing weak about them if done the way he shows.   I know some will probably hog out material they think is not necessary and then wonder why the wing folded on a really hard corner or a hard bounced landing.

Hi James,

From a pure "strength" standpoint, the glass cloth and epoxy is the winner by a good bit.  If you are not going for all out strength, CF and dope does add some strength, but mostly it gives you a harder surface than silkspan and dope.

Hi Doc

I was not referring to the Ringmaster.  Just asking a general question about the two materials and their strength comparison.  I have lost count of the number of RSM Ringmasters I have built and flown and NEVER had a wing even crack on one.
