No big deal, but I want to know. Partly curious. I want more intelligent/experienced guesses about the situation. Not concerned about workability, weather resistance, etc. I see some opinions on the Internet that go both ways. Thanks. As usual it depends. The nose fairings on the A3 Polaris , C4 trident , and D5 Trident missiles are all made of sitka Spruce. And the missiles are lifted by the nose fairing. So for that application wood is best. On the other hand the rocket cases are made of kevlar and carbon fiber. Dan |
