Dennis, this sort of thing comes up all the time. As in this thread a specific question was asked. A couple of us whom do composites for a living gave the correct answer. Yes it could have been considered overkill as far as some peoples expectations but the answers were correct none the less. Some guys want to learn new and better techniques and build better airplanes, some don't and that is fine. What bothers myself and Sensi is when we share information that has taken us years to gather just to be called wrong or as in your case disregarded. It would be my wish that someone would at least give something a shot before tossing aside. You in fact may have a future issue that could have been solved by our advise.
