You are correct. Not much detail except the layup was from several plys of fiberglas BID laid on so the each bid was at 45 degrees to the next one. The whole layup is about 1/8" thick and has worked fine for years, even yesterday!

To me "several plys of bid" implies fiberglass. if so, can you
give
details? Perhaps you and Bob Farnum could be persuaded to do an article? ( I believe several people made belly boards from scratch

QAC went . . . no, even I won't put belly boards and belly-up in
the same
sentence. Except I guess I just did. Senility is such a great
excuse.)

Joseph,
I made my belly board from several plys of bid to about 1/8" thickness. At 550 hours of usage it shows no sign of fatigue. I deploy it for every landing. Board is about 10" x 10".
