So I am getting ready to start my first fanfold edge build. I think the plans call for a wingspan of around 44-48"
Should I double the foam thickness for the wing and fuse? The fanfold I bought is from lowes and it seems pretty thin.
This will not be a full fuse plane, but more of vertical and horizontal profile like the 3dhs epp planes.

What I mean is, is it OK or even preferable to double the thickness and bond it together, which would make the thickness around 1/2", in order to increase strength.
I have cut the 38" wing and it seems too floppy. I'm not sure that a carbon rod that would fit into the wing would help enough.

Try a KFm wing a 38" wing shouldn't need much of a stiffener if you build it KFm. KFm is good up to 60"+ wing.
