       My Comet is skinned with 1/4 ply, then
fiberglass matte with final layer of cloth. Makes the
hull paint tight and virtually indestructible. Which
is a good thing in our hobby. I think Paul or Will had
some 1/4" with just resin that eventually cracked
under battle conditions. I've taken the Tyng battle
test, point blank, no problems. Build it strong is my
motto. After all, it is a TANK , baby. LOL.
