Hi, I don't think Phil Keck was answered to on this question. Mark replied to someone aboiut torturing ply and this seems to have been missed. It is a fair...

Rob, I asked you this before, but I'm not too sure about it? Can you substitute polycore for foam Eg. in the beams, and the bridge deck, bulkheads, rudder...
