Just wondering why glider are not made with pre-preg. Seems like it would save weight.


While I cannot speak for the glider manufacturers , I have a friend that designs and builds carbon snow ski's here in Northern Utah. They started using pre-preg but the types of weave, cloth weights and epoxy types are limited. This manufacturer now impregnates their own cloth.
