you sound like an engineer I would be totally interested as well. I'd want to see it in slow mo to see all the details.

right now I have aluminum on the front and cf on the back. Sounds like I'm on the right track. I want to lighten up as much as possible without compromising strength... balance (barance =-)) thanks so much for your replies!
