Using composites doesn't prevent the fate of many gliders as dustbin fuel and, after a day in the workshop, I could tell you more if my fingers were not stuck together! I qualified in Chemistry and Plastics Technology many years ago but most details escape with with advancing years. Also my life as a full size pilot has ceased for the same reasons. My resin covered fingers are often contaminating the keys of my clarinet and saxophone. Other than that I'm just a sad old git. Funfly

Most of my building is IC now although I haven't flown for a couple of years. I've just build a wren turbine as a bit of a 'can I do it' exercise. I'm in bollington, the kettle is always on here if you're close by.
