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!
