Resin volume ratio is 29:100. I asked before :-)

Get hold of a copy of Burt Rutan's book, Moldless Composite Construction
(sic) from Aircraft Spruce. It is about US$30 and worth arounf 1000 times
more. It tells you all about composites and covers all the things that
the Europa manual fails to tell you (like what to do when it doesn't
always go to plan - and it doesn't always as I found out this weekend
with my rudder) :-(
If you want to follow the track of someone who is only a few weeks in
front of you have a look at my diary
