Re: 6mm Electric Weapon Question

[JOHN PITTELLI <jplily-at-yahoo.com>]

Ray, Take some 1/32 aircraft plywood,then a sheet of
1/16 balsa and then another sheet of 1/32 ply. That's
what I used on the rear of my turret. It's very
strong.Good luck, let me know how it works. P.S. If
you want more strength put some fibreglass and epoxy
between the balsa and last sheet of ply.  John
