Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Hello, I've been thinking about building again, and looking around for innovations in materials and methods. In the past, I bought spruce wood offcuts from Aircraft Spruce for building acoustic guitars, and while visiting the website today, it occurred to me that the homebuilt aircraft industry might be of interest to TD builders. Here's a link to 'how to' articles about the construction and covering of homebuilt aircraft. I think there are useful ideas to be found here.

I have plans to build a new trailer with a double curved, fabric covered roof. I'm looking at Stewart system products. The curved side walls will be built using thin plywood over a frame and covered with epoxy/glass.

Does this mean TDs will have to be ADS-B compliant, too?

I always figured that the idea for pmf came from Fisher flying products latex house paint over dacron covering system.

One of the comments made me hoot:
