"Maule Driver" wrote in message .com... What a load of BS. Have either of you guys ever seen or flown a high performance sailplane? Where *only* airframe performance counts - aircraft use composite construction. Anybody heard of Rutan? Composites, sure. But fiberglass specifically, well..... Rutan's designs, such as the round-the-world Voyager, or Adam Aircraft's A500... were done in carbon fiber and kevlar.... was there very much fiberglass involved? As for the obsolescence of aluminum, especially in alloy, try the "Centennial of Flight" Commission: http://www.centennialofflight.gov/es...tes/Tech40.htm
