If you read post 30 you will see that I mention commerical and military aviation the site you listed is general aviavtion where price is a factor. Two complete different worlds! The f.a.r 's for commercial aviatin are much more strict the genereal, also in commerical service life is important. I got to admit I am not sure what your goals or intentions are at this point. To simply prove me wrong I don't know. I been in commerical aviation for over 10 years I know what I'm talking about. Do I know everything no I don't, but I know fiberglass and CF are heavily HEAVILY used for certain reasons, and like I mentioned ealier cost isn't one of those reasons. In general aviation cost is important and plastic is used for those reason. IF you fully read the"buyplanes" linkyou will see that fiberglass is better and it contradicts your ealier statements mostly of cost..

Look at the reasons :extended service life, extreme conditions and extreme heat and cold under the "recommendations" portion.The planes I work on are $30 million + fly over 30,000ft and over 400kts. Your NOT going to fly your abs plastic Cessna 172 at those conditions! If you want me to say you win FINE YOUR THE BEST, YOU WIN. <u>Your google searching skills are far superior to my schooling and employment</u>.Just know you won't see pushing abs hard or fast! I'm done with this thread! Have fun watching your plastic boat sink when you push it hard!
