Hi all,

The cardboard and fiberglass trailer mentioned higher up in this thread is mine. It is still as strong as the day I built it. But just a small correction - my trailer is cardboard with a fiberglass covering. I did not use papier mache at all.

Regards
Barrie

Keep moving forward.

Many years ago a guy skinned a wooden framed homebuilt airplane with cardboard- he covered it with epoxy/cloth. It actually flew, but never in the rain. hehehe.
