The tables below shows my calculations of THEORETICAL core weights based on panel sizes, sections and foam density data. These tables were calculated as a starting point to understanding how much each piece should/could weigh and to make sure that my design was not introducing weight that would be unavoidable.

The tables I have are for:
     Wing Core Weights (SuperGee II, Spectre 2K4 and My DLG)
     Horizontal Tail core Weights (same models)
     Vertical Tail Core Weights (same Models)
