X-Air Ultralight Aircraft Leading edge foam inserts

Hi flyers! I am gathering materials to build an EAB Weedhopper like aircraft with some similarities to the X-Air. (An X-Air won't fit in my budget or hangar shed....) But I would like to know what the material used for the Leading Edge sleeve stiffener is? A description as far as thickness and density of what I should ask for would be of some considerable help. I have used Reflectix brand mylar bubble wrap type insulation on a previous wing because of it's light weight and stiffness, ?but it still is a bit flexible. The heavy gauge Mylar used on hang gliders and trike wings is a bit expensive too! Thanks in advance! Jackye Reynolds Raleigh, NC
