True, Don used honeycomb stock in his boat but it is a good foundation to start on as far as a how to video. Mark I'll pm you about the plans.
My opinion if this is your first wood build, I would see if mike with the lazer cut kits has the 82 Atlas, I have one of the circus and it will save you a lot of time having to get the parts right and cut out, then go from there, but if you are a good woodcrafter then go for it .
