Question for the Razorback Fabric guy:
I'm currently finishing up the training for my A&P certificate at the school here in Anchorage, and as it so happened, the lecture this morning was about fabric covering. The instructor brought up Razorback fabric, mentioned that it is great stuff, but then added that we don't see much of it here in Alaska because it tends to sag in cold weather compared to the shrunk-on polyester fabrics. As I recall from the lecture, he said it was due more to contraction of the underlying airframe in sub freezing temperatures, than any change in the fabric. The heat shrunk fabrics apparently don't suffer as much from this because there is enough extra tautness is added during the shrinking process to make up for any dimensional change in the airframe at low temperatures. I was just wondering if you have any comments in this regard? ---------------------------------------------------- Del Rawlins- Remove _kills_spammers_ to reply via email.
