Subject : Unequal skin thicknesses
Posted : 2012-05-20 2:24 PM

Can anyone comment on using 3/8" thick skin on the top of a 1" aramid honeycomb and 1/2" thick skin on the bottom? Is there any reason this will not stay flat? I seems to me that the rigidity of the t-box construction derives from the stability in WIDTH AND LENGTH of the skins (and the fact that they are suspended at a fixed distance from one another), regardless of considerations about the thickness of the skins--either the dimensions or the stability (or consistency) of the skin thickness. Does that make any sense?

I know it seems like it should not warp but most likely it will if the skins are of uneven thickness. Keep them the same.
