I don't know how the Diana does it, but if I wanted a Diana 2, I would
ask questions like "How did you achieve this weight reduction without
sacrificing strength needed for ground handling or crashworthiness?".


Yes, Eric, but English is your first language. I don't think it is for
Naresh so he simply said "Where is the Kevlar?"

12 words and about 97 polysyllables shorter - but exactly the same
question.

OK, how about "How come yours is so light and theirs is so heavy?"?

Actually, his written English is excellent - look at his postings and
web site. I think he asked the Kevlar question because he thought the
details about it's use would tell him (and the audience he appears to be
reaching for) important information. My point is it won't, unless you
are very knowledgeable about the details of glider structural design for
crashworthiness.

... which is actualy based on carbon fibre these days, not Kevlar.

Interesting topic, but unfortunately (but understandably) prejudiced
by his own personal experiences.
