Hi Andy,

Put two layers on top, two layers on the bottom.

Anyone that has built their XL canard,

I am ready to do the C & D UNI lay-ups on my canard. I understand what the
manual is saying for the 16" X 184" and the 22" X 184" layers of paragraph
3.3.4 of page 3-12 for the XLG chapter. My problem is that I don't
understand the second to last paragraph on the same page.

"The paragraph reads" Cut 2 layers of UNI 8" X 138" and 2 layers of UNI 6" X
96". They are both centered over the spar and centered lengthwise on the
canard on both top and bottom. Make slits for the lift tabs.

I understand the locations for both top and bottom of the spar centered over
the spar and centered lengthwise.

What I don't understand is it saying that I am to have 4 layers (2ea. 8" X
138" + 2ea. 6" X 96") total centered on the spar for both the top and the
bottom for a total of 8 layers, 4 on top and 4 on bottom?

Or should I only have 2 layers (1ea. 8" X 138" + 1ea. 6" X 96") centered on
the spar for both top and bottom for a total of 4 layers, 2 on top and 2 on
bottom? ?

I would call the factory for clarification, but of course it is Sunday and
no one would be there.
