The Cheetahcat was built from the Airex in the first test that is all we had back in the day.

There is a nice article on Page 50 of the new Professional boatbuilder
on the evolution of the design software and the pitfalls in novice hands.

Will do, i dont seem to have my June/July yet. Thanks



Hey do you happen to have a few small pieces of A600 or any other Airex/Corecell laying around? Just a few small chunks i can check out, a few square inches is fine? Do you think the manufacturer has a sample box that can be obtained like the ones from NIDA core?
