What are the current thoughts as far as strength vs weight and cost regarding the two approaches as regards building a fusealage or floats/hulls? Foam "boards" encased in resin soaked cloth seems like an easy way to build for certain designs but could it be as strong and light as carbon cloth layers impregnated with resin without the foam?
